Research library
Names, chemical identifiers, research status and the type of evidence that exists for each compound, with primary references. Entries describe research, not uses.
BPC 157 · Body Protection Compound-157 · Pentadecapeptide BPC 157
A synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a sequence described in gastric juice. Its literature is dominated by animal studies, many from the group that first described it.
CJC-1295 with DAC · CJC-1295 (no DAC) · Modified GRF (1-29)
A name used for two different molecules: CJC-1295 with DAC, a long-acting GHRH analogue studied in humans in 2006, and “CJC-1295 (no DAC)”, also called Modified GRF (1-29).
Copper tripeptide-1 · GHK-copper · Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex
A copper complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. It is studied in cell and gene-expression research and is also used as a cosmetic ingredient.
NNC 26-0161
A synthetic pentapeptide first described in 1998 as a selective growth-hormone secretagogue in animal studies.
Lys-Pro-Val · α-MSH (11–13)
The tripeptide lysine–proline–valine, a C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is studied mainly in cell and mouse models of intestinal inflammation.
MOTS-C · Mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c
A 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA. It is studied in cell and mouse research on metabolism and in work on exercise biology.
NAD · Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide · β-NAD+
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme found in every living cell. It is not a peptide, but is sold alongside peptides by research vendors.
TB500 · Thymosin beta-4 fragment (as marketed)
A trade name for a short synthetic peptide fragment related to thymosin beta-4. Most of the cited research concerns full-length thymosin beta-4, not the fragment sold as TB-500.
