PeptiGrowth’s proprietary technology offers a range of fully chemically synthesized (animal-component free) peptide growth factors for use in cell culture media as alternatives to conventional protein growth factors.
They possess the same capacities for receptor activation, cell proliferation and differentiation as conventional growth factors and recombinant proteins, but with greater cost effectiveness and ease of use, longer shelf-life, and no biological contaminants.
- GMP-grade products can be manufactured upon request
Product Summary
PG-003 is a synthetic peptide alternative to Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). PG-003 possesses agonistic activity against TrkB receptor and can be used as a neurotrophic factor to grow, induce, and maintain neurons derived from neural progenitors as well as to promote the formation of synapse networks.
Advantages of its use are numerous: 10 µg of PG-003 is equivalent to ~25 µg of recombinant BDNF due to difference in molecular weight. This line of PeptiGrowth ingredients offers uniformity that can improve efficiency and data reproducibility and thus reduce the cost of R&D and manufacturing.
