Peptide Names, Research Codes and Forms: A Terminology Crosswalk

A source-linked crosswalk for four common naming problems, with explicit limits and a downloadable identity-resolution record.

Key answer

Use an alias to locate a record, then resolve the actual molecular entity and formulation. Similar names and research codes do not establish equivalent batches. Keep unresolved modifications, salts and reporting bases visible in the comparison.

Scope: nomenclature and source matching. This is a curated reference for ambiguous reading tasks, not a list of interchangeable products. The rows preserve the boundary between a study intervention and a supplied material.

Four names that need a second check

Selected identity-resolution cases — 17 September 2026
NameCode or related terminologyWhat to resolveAmbiguity warningSources
CJC-1295Long-acting CJC-1295; DAC terminologyRecord whether the DAC modification is present and obtain the exact molecular specificationDo not transfer findings to non-DAC material based on the short namePrimary source; evidence dossier
TB-500Ac-LKKTETQ; N-acetylated thymosin beta-4 fragmentThe cited analytical study identified the acetylated 17-23 fragment in tested materialA TB-500 label does not identify every batch; the fragment is not full-length thymosin beta-4Primary source; evidence dossier
PT-141BremelanotideMatch the molecular entity and the formulation before using clinical evidenceThe named intervention in a clinical trial does not authenticate a research vialPrimary source; evidence dossier

Keep salts, forms and quantities explicit

For your own record, copy the supplier's complete form description, including any stated salt, counterion, complex or modification. If this is absent, enter “not supplied”; this crosswalk intentionally assigns no default salt to a catalogue name. Ask what the quantity refers to and retain the exact wording with the source document.

A reproducible matching procedure

  1. Copy the label and record its URL and date.
  2. Locate the source using the name or research code.
  3. Compare the stated molecular specification and formulation; mark each missing field.
  4. Keep a separate link to the batch report. A literature match does not authenticate that batch.
  5. Record who resolved the ambiguity and which document supports the resolution.

The identity glossary defines the terms. The formulation comparison explains why a matching molecule name still leaves a study-transfer question.

Method, ownership and revision record

This original reference organises selected sources by the question a reader needs to resolve. It is not a validated laboratory protocol or an exhaustive review. Version 1.0, reviewed 2026-09-17; next review 2026-12-17. Maintained by the AUS Peptide Supply editorial team, with review ownership assigned to the business operator. Initial release: source-linked comparison and downloadable reference table.
