ARA-290, also called cibinetide, is an 11–amino-acid peptide derived from the helix-B domain of erythropoietin (EPO) that selectively targets the innate repair receptor (IRR / EPOR–βcR) without the erythropoietic (red-blood-cell–stimulating) effects of EPO. It has been studied in preclinical models and clinical trials as a tissue-protection and small-fiber-neuropathy research candidate. Note: ARA-290 is offered — […]

Triptorelin is a synthetic decapeptide agonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), studied for its biphasic action on the GnRH receptor — an initial stimulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) followed, with continuous exposure, by receptor downregulation and suppression of gonadotropins. It is structurally a modified analogue of native GnRH, with a D-tryptophan substitution […]

VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide of the secretin/glucagon peptide superfamily that signals through the class B G-protein-coupled receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2. It is studied in neuroendocrine, vascular, and immunomodulation research. This article is educational only. VIP is discussed here strictly as a research compound; it is for research use only (RUO) and […]

FOXO4-DRI is a synthetic D-retro-inverso (DRI) peptide designed to disrupt the FOXO4–p53 protein interaction inside senescent cells, and it is studied as a senolytic research tool in cellular-senescence biology. It is investigated for its ability to selectively trigger programmed cell death in senescent (“aged”) cells while sparing healthy ones in laboratory and animal models. This […]

Adipotide, also called FTPP or Prohibitin-TP01, is an experimental peptidomimetic studied in animal models for its targeting of adipose-tissue vasculature. Bolt Peptide does not offer Adipotide. It is discussed only as an experimental research compound and not for human use. Quick facts Class: targeted pro-apoptotic peptidomimetic (a homing peptide fused to a pro-apoptotic sequence). Molecular […]

Both GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 are synthetic growth-hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs) that act as agonists at the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). The key difference studied in the lab is that GHRP-6 is associated with stronger appetite-stimulating (ghrelin-like) signaling in animal models, while GHRP-2 is often characterized as a more potent growth-hormone (GH) secretagogue relative to its other effects. […]

Thymalin is a thymus-derived peptide preparation studied in immunological and peptide-bioregulator research. This article is an analytical overview of laboratory and published research models. Any referenced material is research-use-only and not for human or veterinary use. Quick facts Class: thymic peptide bioregulator (tissue-derived peptide complex) Source: originally isolated from calf (bovine) thymus tissue Research focus: […]

LL-37 is the only human cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide — a 37-amino-acid cationic, amphipathic peptide cleaved from the hCAP18 precursor protein. It is one of the most extensively studied host-defense peptides in laboratory research, where it is investigated for antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and innate-immunity signaling activity. Research-use-only (RUO) note: LL-37 is referenced here strictly as a subject […]

MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is a splice variant of insulin-like growth factor 1 — specifically the IGF-1Ec isoform — that is expressed in mechanically loaded or damaged muscle and is studied as a local tissue-repair factor in muscle-research models. PEG-MGF is a pegylated form of the peptide, engineered to improve stability and extend half-life for […]

MK-677, also called ibutamoren, is a non-peptide research compound investigated as a growth-hormone secretagogue at the GHS-R1a (ghrelin) receptor. It has been studied in the scientific literature as a long-acting stimulator of the growth-hormone (GH) / insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis. Importantly, MK-677 is a synthetic small molecule — it is not a peptide, which […]
