Storage Instructions

All products from Apex Health Performance are manufactured using a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process. This method is designed to maintain product integrity and allows vials to remain stable during shipping for approximately 3–4 months.

Once a vial is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, it should be stored in the refrigerator to help maintain stability. Under these conditions, reconstituted material is generally considered stable for up to 30 days.

Lyophilization is a dehydration technique in which compounds are frozen and then exposed to low pressure. This causes the water in the vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure. This powder can be kept at room temperature until reconstitution.

Upon receipt, products should be stored away from heat and light. For short-term use, refrigeration at approximately 4°C (39°F) is suitable. For long-term storage (several months to years), vials may be placed in a freezer at approximately -80°C (-112°F). Freezing is the preferred method for preserving product stability over extended periods.

OPIOID-EXPRESSING B CELLS SILENCE TUMOR-INFILTRATING NOCICEPTOR NEURONS.

Research square 2025

In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and melanoma, our research has shown that tumor-innervating nociceptors modulate anti-tumor immunity through the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its interaction with receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1). Pharmacological blockade of reduced HNSCC-induced mechanical pain.

Decoding the neuroimmune axis in colorectal cancer: From neural circuitry to therapeutic innovation.

Cytokine & growth factor reviews 2025

Colorectal cancer (CRC), as the predominant solid tumor arising in this neuroimmune-rich microenvironment, remains understudied through the lens of neuroimmune regulatory mechanisms. We comprehensively catalog the immunomodulatory effects exerted by principal neuroregulatory mediators, categorized as: (1) neurotransmitters (glutamate, glutamine, γ-aminobutyric acid, epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, and gaseous signaling molecules); (2) neuropeptides (substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide); and (3) neurotrophic factors.

Targeting EFHD2 inhibits interferon-γ signaling and ameliorates non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Journal of hepatology 2024

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The precise pathomechanisms underlying the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH, also known as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis [MASH]) remain incompletely understood. Molecular mechanisms underlying EFHD2 function were investigated, while chemical and genetic investigations were performed to assess its potential as a therapeutic target.

Increase in participation of vasoactive intestinal peptide in relaxation of the distal colon of Wistar rats with age.

British journal of pharmacology 2000

The extent of the VIP-mediated component of the relaxation induced by electrical field stimulation (EFS) was determined by the effect of VIP(10 - 28), a VIP receptor antagonist. Since our previous results suggest that VIP induces NANC relaxation via activation of charybdotoxin (ChTx, a blocker of large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel)-sensitive K(+) channels with concomitant slow hyperpolarization in the muscle cells, we next studied whether ChTx-sensitive component and slow hyperpolarization changes with age.

VIP-mediated increase in cAMP prevents tetrodotoxin-induced retinal ganglion cell death in vitro.

Neuron 1990

Radioimmunoassay of cyclic nucleotides showed that TTX decreased culture levels of cAMP and that this trend was reversed by VIP. Decreases in RGC survival associated with TTX electrical blockade were prevented by 8-bromo:cAMP or forskolin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information about our research-grade peptides and quality standards.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2-50 amino acids. They serve as the building blocks of proteins and play crucial roles in biological processes.

Research peptides are synthesized versions of naturally occurring peptides, manufactured to precise specifications for use in scientific studies.

Key characteristics: High purity (≥98%), lyophilized form for stability, accompanied by Certificates of Analysis (COA), and manufactured under strict quality control protocols.

Peptide purity refers to the percentage of the target peptide present in a sample, measured via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

Our Standard: All our research peptides maintain ≥98% purity, verified by third-party laboratory testing and documented in our Certificates of Analysis.
