NAMING REFERENCE
Peptides Aus
The same compound often appears under several names. This is how the catalogue maps to them.
Why naming gets confusing
Research peptides accumulate names. A compound may carry a development code from the laboratory that first synthesised it, an international non-proprietary name assigned later, and a shorthand that emerges informally. Ordering the wrong thing because two names looked unrelated is a common and avoidable waste.
Common Alternate Names
BPC-157
Also written Body Protection Compound 157, PL 14736, or simply BPC. All refer to the same pentadecapeptide.
TB-500
Often conflated with Thymosin Beta-4 itself. TB-500 is a synthetic fragment, not the full protein.
ARA-290
Also listed as Cibinetide. Both names appear in the literature for the same erythropoietin-derived peptide.
PT-141
Also known as Bremelanotide, its international non-proprietary name.
SS-31
Appears in literature as Elamipretide and MTP-131 for the same mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide.
Melanotan II
Frequently written Melanotan 2 or MT-II. Distinct from Melanotan I, which is a different compound.
