What is a peptide?
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Anything from 2 to ~50 amino acids long is generally called a peptide; longer chains become proteins. Each residue contributes specific chemistry — hydrophobic, polar, charged — that shapes the molecule's function.

Peptide families.
Cosmetic peptides
Short sequences studied for skin-related research applications (e.g. signal peptides, carrier peptides).

Sequences studied for metabolic and recovery-related research (e.g. growth-related peptides).
Neuropeptides
Peptides studied for receptor-binding and neurotransmission research.

Compound families by mechanism.
Research peptides are most usefully grouped not by catalog category but by mechanism — receptor target, signaling pathway, or structural lineage. The same compound can appear in multiple mechanism families. Below are the twelve mechanism families that organize the Nexus research catalog.
GLP-1 receptor agonists
Single- and multi-agonist analogs of glucagon-like peptide 1. Includes single GLP-1 agonists (semaglutide, liraglutide), dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists (tirzepatide), triple GLP-1/GIP/glucagon agonists (retatrutide), and GLP-1/glucagon dual agonists (mazdutide, survodutide). Common research applications: receptor pharmacology across the incretin axis, format comparison studies, multi-pathway signaling research. Catalog GLP-1 metabolic.
Amylin pathway agonists
Long-acting amylin analogs paired with GLP-1 agonists in blend formats. Cagrilintide is the catalog representative, standalone and in cagri-sema (cagri + semaglutide) and retatrutide+cagrilintide blends.
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogs
Synthetic GHRH-receptor agonists. Sermorelin acetate is the canonical short-acting research analog; CJC-1295 (with and without DAC) is the long-acting research analog. Tesamorelin is the most extensively-studied GHRH analog. Common research stack: GHRH + GHRP for pulsatile-signaling models. Catalog growth hormone secretagogues.
Growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs / ghrelin agonists)
Ghrelin receptor agonists that complement GHRH analogs in pulsatile-signaling research. Ipamorelin is the selective research analog (GH-release without other pituitary effects); GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 are earlier- generation reference compounds; hexarelin is the hexapeptide research reference.
IGF-axis and HGH-fragment derivatives
Insulin-like growth factor 1 long-arg-3 variant (IGF-1 LR3), mechano growth factor (MGF) and its pegylated derivative (PEG-MGF), and human growth hormone fragment 176-191 with its AOD9604 derivative. Common research application: studying the GH/IGF axis at the effector rather than the secretagogue level.
Tissue-repair and healing peptides
Body Protection Compound 157 (BPC-157), thymosin beta-4 acetate (TB-500) and its active fragment (TB-500-frag), and blend formats combining these with GHK-Cu and KPV. Common research applications: tissue-repair models, angiogenesis research, gastrointestinal mucosal stability models. Catalog healing and recovery.
Copper-binding peptides
Glycyl-histidyl-lysine in its copper-chelated form (GHK-Cu), the alanine-substituted variant (AHK-Cu), and the unchelated GHK reference. Cosmetic and signaling research applications focused on extracellular matrix remodeling and fibroblast research models. Catalog cosmetic peptides.
Melanocortin receptor agonists
Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) analogs: melanotan I (MT-1), melanotan II (MT-2), bremelanotide (PT-141), and the alpha-MSH derivative tripeptide KPV. Research applications cover melanocortin-pathway pharmacology — pigmentation, melanocortin-4 receptor research, and signaling cascade work.

Mitochondrial open reading frame-derived peptides (humanin, MOTS-c), mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant peptides (SS-31 / elamipretide), AMPK activators (AICAR), NAD+-pathway compounds (NAD+ itself, 5-Amino-1MQ as NNMT inhibitor), and mitochondrial uncouplers (BAM15, SLU-PP-332 as ERR agonist). Common research focus: cellular bioenergetics and metabolic pathway research.
Nootropic and neurotrophic peptides

Research peptide timeline.
A condensed timeline of the research peptide field, focused on milestones relevant to the compounds in the Nexus catalog.
- 1953 — Vincent du Vigneaud's synthesis of oxytocin demonstrates that biologically active peptides can be assembled by solid-phase chemistry. The Nobel Prize awarded in 1955 marks the start of synthetic peptide research as an enterprise.
- 1971-1973 — Andrew Schally and Roger Guillemin independently characterize hypothalamic- releasing hormones (including GHRH and TRH), establishing the secretagogue paradigm that underpins later research peptides like sermorelin and CJC-1295.
- 1970s-1980s — V.Kh. Khavinson's research group in St. Petersburg describes short tetrapeptide bioregulators, originating the Khavinson peptide family (epithalon, thymalin, cortagen, and the rest of the 15- compound research lineage now in the Nexus catalog). See the Khavinson PubMed corpus for the cross-language literature.
- 1991 — Pickart and Margolina publish on GHK-copper as a research signaling peptide, originating the copper-tripeptide research lineage.
- 1990s — Bowers and colleagues develop GHRPs (including GHRP-2 and GHRP-6), which later inform ipamorelin and the broader ghrelin- receptor research family.
- 1991-1998 — Sikiric and colleagues at the University of Zagreb begin publishing on BPC-157, originating the gastric pentadecapeptide research lineage. Subsequent two decades produce more than 100 published research studies on the compound.
- 2010s — discovery of mitochondrial-derived peptides (humanin in 2003, MOTS-c in 2015) opens the mitochondrial open-reading-frame research field.
- 2017-2024 — development of multi-agonist incretin peptides (semaglutide 2017, tirzepatide 2022, retatrutide and mazdutide and survodutide later) creates the largest contemporary research peptide family.
- 2020s — FOXO4-DRI and related senolytic research peptides establish a new research peptide category at the intersection of cellular senescence and longevity research.
