Chemistry:Cortagen

From HandWiki

Cortagen is a tetrapeptide with the sequence AEDP or Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro. It was originally identified as a primary active component of Cortexin, a mixture of peptides derived from cow brain cortex tissue. It is claimed to stimulate nerve growth and enhance repair of damaged nerves.[1][2][3][4]
