FAQ
- What is the amino acid sequence and molecular weight of Pancragen?
- Pancragen is a tetrapeptide with the sequence Lys-Glu-Asp-Trp (KEDW) and a molecular weight of approximately 576 g/mol. It belongs to the Khavinson short-chain bioregulator peptide family.
- Is Pancragen listed on the WADA Prohibited List?
- Pancragen (KEDW) is not specifically named on the current WADA Prohibited List and is not classified as a growth-hormone secretagogue or S2-category growth factor. Athletes in tested sports should confirm current status directly with WADA each year.
- What tissue or biological system is Pancragen associated with in research?
- Research associates Pancragen with pancreatic tissue, specifically the endocrine pancreas and islets of Langerhans. Laboratory studies have examined insulin-linked gene activity and beta-cell formation; all findings remain investigational and unconfirmed.
