FGL vs PE-22-28
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
FGL
FGL (FG Loop) is a synthetic peptide that mimics the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) FG loop region. It promotes neuroplasticity and has shown cognitive-enhancing effects in research.

| Aspect | FGL | PE-22-28 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Binds to FGFR1 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 1) to activate downstream signaling cascades that promote neurite outgrowth, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal survival. | Derived from the protein that is deficient in SAMP8 mice. May work by inhibiting protein phosphatase 2A methylesterase, thereby affecting memory-related signaling pathways. |
| Typical Dosage | Research protocols have used subcutaneous doses ranging from 1-10mg. Intranasal administration also studied. Optimal dosing not established. | Research protocols vary. Intranasal dosing has been studied at various concentrations. Optimal human dosing not established. |
| Administration | Subcutaneous injection or intranasal administration. Research compound with limited human dosing data. | Intranasal administration preferred for CNS delivery. Research compound with limited human use data. |
| Side Effects | Limited human data available. Animal studies show good tolerability. | Very limited human data. Primarily studied in animal models for safety and efficacy. |
