Peptides derived from endogenous regulatory proteins are believed to often serve as intriguing molecular probes in neuroscience and related fields. Among these, Semax (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) occupies a notable niche as a synthetic analog of the ACTH (4–10) fragment. In research contexts, Semax is thought to function as a versatile agent to probe neurotrophic signaling, gene regulation, and aggregation phenomena. This article aims to survey known properties of Semax, speculate on its potential roles in laboratory settings, and delineate promising research directions.
