LL-37: The Only Peptide of Its Kind the Human Body Actually Makes
LL-37 is the only cathelicidin the human body produces. Thirty-seven residues, a membrane-disrupting mechanism, and research spanning immunity, wound models and cancer.
VIP: The Peptide With a Hand in Almost Every Organ System
VIP turns up in the gut, the lungs, the brain and the immune system, which is why it is hard to summarise. Twenty-eight residues, two receptors, and a very wide literature.
PT-141: The First Melanocortin Receptor Agonist to Clear FDA Review
PT-141 is cyclic, not linear, and that bridge between Asp2 and Lys7 is central to how it behaves. The melanocortin pathway, the trial data, and the FDA history.
AOD-9604: The Fragment of Growth Hormone Built to Do Just One of Its Jobs
Growth hormone does several jobs. AOD-9604 is the fragment engineered to do one of them, and the trial data is more interesting than the marketing around it suggests.
Kisspeptin-10: The Peptide That Turned Out to Be the Master Switch for Puberty
Kisspeptin-10 was discovered as a metastasis suppressor and turned out to be the switch that starts puberty. Ten residues, GPR54, and a genuinely strange research history.
5-Amino-1MQ: The NNMT Inhibitor, Its Mechanism and the Research Data
5-Amino-1MQ is not a peptide at all. It is a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor, and the distinction changes how it behaves, how it is handled and what the research means.
CJC-1295 with DAC UK Guide: Research, Mechanism and Study Data
The drug affinity complex turns a peptide with a half-life of minutes into one measured in days. How CJC-1295 with DAC works, and what the research shows.
Melanotan-2 Peptide UK Guide: Research, Mechanism and Study Data
Melanotan-2 is the shorter cyclic cousin of Melanotan-1, and the ring is what changes its receptor behaviour. How the two differ, and what the research covers.
Melanotan-1 Peptide UK Guide: Research, Mechanism and Study Data
Melanotan-1 is afamelanotide: thirteen residues, MC1R selectivity, and a development history that ran from Arizona to an approved prescription medicine.
KPV Peptide and Psoriasis Research (Complete Guide)
Psoriasis research is one of the clearer lines of KPV investigation. What the published models show, which pathway is implicated, and where the evidence stops.
