What is P-21?

P-21 is a synthetic peptide derived from ciliary neurotrophic factor, studied for effects on hippocampal neurogenesis. It is a comparatively recent compound and the published literature on it is thin, which is worth recording in any methods section. Pepstral supplies it as a lyophilized powder for in-vitro laboratory research only.

How is P-21 handled and stored?

Sealed vials are stored at -20°C away from light and keep for 24 months. To reconstitute, add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl until clear; never shake. Once in solution, keep at 2 to 8°C and use within our 28-day default for a preserved solution. The concentration table gives the dilution volumes and microlitre aliquots for this vial.

Frequently asked questions

What is P-21 derived from?

Ciliary neurotrophic factor, a member of the gp130 cytokine family.

How well characterised is it?

Less so than the older nootropic peptides. Cite primary sources carefully and expect fewer independent replications.

Is P-21 for human use?

No. Every product on this site is sold for in-vitro laboratory research only and is not for human or animal consumption, diagnostic or therapeutic use.
