What is Dihexa?
Research Focus: Cognitive, Neuro
Dihexa (N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide) is a potent, orally active small peptide fragment derived from the Growth Hormone (GH) fragment Angiotensin IV. It is studied for its powerful neurotrophic and cognitive-enhancing effects.
At a Glance
Dihexa is known to be a highly potent ligand for the Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) receptor, c-Met. HGF is a crucial factor in brain development and repair, promoting synaptogenesis (new synapse formation). This section provides a general overview of its research context.
About Dihexa
Dihexa is known to be a highly potent ligand for the Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) receptor, c-Met. HGF is a crucial factor in brain development and repair, promoting synaptogenesis (new synapse formation).
How It Works
c-Met Receptor Activation
Potently activates the c-Met receptor, mimicking the effects of HGF.
Synaptogenesis
Promotes the formation of new synaptic connections, potentially enhancing learning and memory.
Neuroprotection
Offers protection to neurons against various forms of damage and degeneration.
Current Research Insights
