Cortagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro) developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Research focuses on normalizing cerebral cortex function, cognitive enhancement in aging, and neuroprotection.
Summary: Acts as a peptide bioregulator to normalize gene expression in cerebral cortex cells, potentially restoring age-related decline in cognitive function. Mechanisms (reported/proposed across domains): Neuro / cognition • Interacts with DNA regulatory regions (proposed), modulating expression of genes involved in neuronal function and neurotransmitter metabolism. • Normalizes cortical...
