Type
Synthetic peptide (ACTH fragment analog, 9 residues)
Molecular formula
C50H69N11O11S
Molecular weight
1032.23 g/mol
Amino acids
9
Sequence
Ac-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro-Ala-Gly-NH₂
Modification
N-terminal acetylation; C-terminal amidation; C-terminal adamantylglycine residue (adamantane cage moiety).
A synthetic peptide corresponding to the ACTH(4–10) fragment scaffold, sharing the core Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro sequence of Semax and extending it with Ala-Gly at the C-terminus. The terminal residue carries an adamantyl moiety — a rigid lipophilic cage incorporated in related peptide analogs to investigate how hydrophobic substitutions affect membrane penetration and proteolytic stability. N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation cap the sequence, structural modifications studied for their effect on conformational stability and resistance to enzymatic degradation in tissue-preparation assays.
Lyophilized
Store refrigerated or at −20 °C, protected from light
use desiccant as needed.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; protect from light and microbial contamination; prepare fresh aliquots for each experiment.
