Research Handling Note:
Allow sealed vials to reach ambient laboratory temperature before opening, to prevent condensation forming inside the vial. Store sealed vials at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. All handling and laboratory procedures are determined by the receiving laboratory under its own protocols.

HEP-1 5mg - Research Grade Peptide
HEP-1, also known as Human Ezrin Peptide 1 or Gepon, is a synthetic 14-amino acid peptide supplied at 5mg for laboratory research. The peptide sequence corresponds to amino acids 324-337 of the human ezrin protein and is studied in controlled research environments exploring immune signalling and inflammatory pathways.

Research Background:
HEP-1 is investigated in experimental models focused on immune response modulation and cytokine signalling. Research literature explores its interaction with immune cell pathways, including studies involving adaptive immune markers and inflammatory mediators. These investigations remain limited to laboratory and experimental settings.
Synthesis and Quality Assurance:
HEP-1 is synthesised using solid-phase peptide synthesis and supplied as a lyophilised powder to support stability during storage and handling. Each batch undergoes analytical verification to confirm identity, purity, and consistency prior to release.
Legal and Safety Information:
UK Peptides supplies HEP-1 strictly for in-vitro research purposes. This product is not a pharmaceutical, medical, or therapeutic item and is not intended for human or veterinary use. No claims are made regarding clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic outcomes.

Why Choose UK Peptides for HEP-1 5mg (Gepon) in the UK?
UK Peptides has supplied research-grade peptides to the UK scientific community since 2012. We work directly with our manufacturing partner rather than through third-party resellers, so every batch of HEP-1 5mg (Gepon) is tested before it reaches your freezer, and consistency carries from one order to the next. Orders placed before 3pm are dispatched the same day, with tracked next-day delivery available across the UK.
Reconstitution in a Research Setting:
As a lyophilised peptide, HEP-1 5mg (Gepon) is typically reconstituted immediately before use by adding sterile or bacteriostatic water directly to the vial, rather than by vigorous mixing, to protect the peptide's structure. The exact diluent, volume, and resulting concentration are decisions for the receiving laboratory's own protocols and intended assay. Once reconstituted, peptides are generally less stable than in lyophilised form and are best used promptly or kept refrigerated for short-term storage only, again under the receiving laboratory's own procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HEP-1 5mg (Gepon) intended for human use?
No. It is sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and is not a medicine, supplement, or food product.
What form does HEP-1 5mg (Gepon) ship in?
As a sealed, lyophilised (freeze-dried) vial, the standard form for stable storage and transport of research peptides.
What purity standard does this batch meet?
See the specification list above for this product's confirmed purity and batch details.
Quality Control at Every Batch:
Every batch of HEP-1 5mg (Gepon) that reaches our freezer has already been through our manufacturing partner's own analytical verification before dispatch, checking identity and purity against the specification shown above. Peptides are inherently sensitive to heat, light, and moisture, so batches are kept in temperature-controlled storage from the point they arrive with us until they are picked, packed, and dispatched — the same cold-chain discipline we ask researchers to continue once a vial reaches their own laboratory.
Does this come with a Certificate of Analysis?
Where a Safety Data Sheet or Certificate of Analysis is available for HEP-1 5mg (Gepon), it can be accessed from this product page; see the Safety Data Sheet tab above if present for this item.
