Research Overview

About Cortagen

Cortagen belongs to the Khavinson peptide bioregulator family. It has been investigated for its ability to influence gene expression, support neuronal repair mechanisms and promote healthy nervous system function. Research has focused on neuroprotection, cognitive performance and recovery following neural injury.

How It Works in Research

Cortagen (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from Cortexin. Research suggests it modulates gene expression involved in neuronal differentiation, growth and stress resistance, while promoting neurotrophic signalling, reducing oxidative stress and supporting peripheral nerve regeneration.

Research Applications

• Neuroprotection • Cognitive function • Memory • Peripheral nerve regeneration • Healthy ageing • Cellular repair

Researchers investigate Cortagen because it may help support the repair and function of nerve cells by influencing genes involved in growth, regeneration and cellular protection.
