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.
What is P-21 studied for?
- Hippocampal neurogenesis models
- CNTF-derived peptide comparisons
- Neurotrophic signalling assays
- Cognitive research models
All applications above are in-vitro or preclinical research contexts. P-21 is sold for laboratory research only and is not for human or animal use.
What does the certificate for lot P21-2609-X show?
Every lot of P-21 is tested by an independent US laboratory before it is listed. The report for lot P21-2609-X is in the COA library and the lot number printed on the vial matches it. The current results:
| Test | Method | Lot P21-2609-X result |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | LC-MS | Matches the calculated mass for the sequence |
| Purity | HPLC-UV, 220 nm | 99.0% |
| Net peptide content | Amino acid analysis | Stated per vial on the certificate |
| Endotoxin | LAL, chromogenic | < 0.5 EU/mg |
| Sterility | USP <71> | Pass |
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 the 28-day window on the certificate. The reconstitution guide covers volumes and syringe units and the concentration table gives the numbers 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.
