PE-22-28 Peptide
PE-22-28 is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from spadin and extensively studied for its potential effects on neuroplasticity, neurogenesis, and mood regulation. As a selective inhibitor of the TREK-1 potassium channel, PE-22-28 has become an important compound in neuroscience research focused on neuronal signaling and cognitive function.
Its enhanced stability and potency compared to spadin make it a promising research tool for investigating brain adaptation mechanisms and neurological recovery pathways.
Key Research Areas
- TREK-1 potassium channel inhibition
- Neuroplasticity research
- Neurogenesis studies
- Synaptic connectivity
- Cognitive function research
- Neurological recovery mechanisms

- Brain resilience and adaptation
Mechanism of Action
PE-22-28 selectively inhibits TREK-1 channels, increasing neuronal excitability and supporting signaling pathways associated with neuroplasticity. Research suggests this mechanism may contribute to enhanced neuronal growth, synaptic formation, and cognitive resilience.
Studies have demonstrated its ability to stimulate neurogenesis within the hippocampus, a brain region critically involved in memory formation, learning, and emotional regulation.
Research Applications
Researchers commonly investigate PE-22-28 in studies involving:
- Neuroplasticity and synaptic adaptation
- Learning and memory mechanisms
- Cognitive performance
- Stress response pathways
- Neurological recovery research
- Neuroprotection studies
- TREK-1 receptor signaling
