Definition
A hexapeptide is a peptide composed of six amino acids. On TruthTides, this term is referenced in the context of Dihexa, a synthetic hexapeptide analog of angiotensin IV with potent nootropic activity in preclinical studies. Dihexa's six-amino-acid sequence enables it to cross the blood-brain barrier and promote synaptogenesis at picomolar concentrations.
