Peptide Sequence Comparisons
Explore structural and identity differences between related peptides using recorded sequences, modifications and identifiers in the Research Library.
Each pair brings two monographs together. Residue differences and recorded modifications are shown separately; missing fields remain not recorded. Read the Library methodology.
Amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists
parent and analog
Cagrilintide vs Amylin (human IAPP)Cagrilintide is an acylated amylin analog with residue substitutions. The two records share a disulfide-linked peptide scaffold but describe distinct molecules.
Aligned residue sequences and modification notes
parent and analog
Pramlintide vs Amylin (human IAPP)Pramlintide differs from the recorded human amylin sequence at three positions, carrying proline in place of Ala25, Ser28 and Ser29.

Copper-binding peptides
commonly confused
GHK (Prezatide) vs GHK-CuGHK is the free tripeptide; GHK-Cu is a copper coordination species. Their molecular identities and registry numbers are distinct.
Identity and modification records
Cyclic melanocortin analogs
parent and analog
Melanotan II vs PT-141 (Bremelanotide)PT-141 is the C-terminal free-acid form of the Melanotan II scaffold. The recorded cyclic scaffold is shared, while the terminal group differs.
Identity and modification records
GHRH analogs
commonly confused
CJC-1295 vs SermorelinThese records distinguish the substituted non-DAC backbone recorded as CJC-1295 from sermorelin’s GRF(1-29) sequence. The cited CJC report concerns DAC-bearing conjugates; its species must not be conflated with this non-DAC record.

GLP-1 receptor peptide analogs
same family
Semaglutide vs LiraglutideSemaglutide and liraglutide are distinct acylated GLP-1 analogs. The Library records separate molecular identities for them.
Identity and modification records
parent and analog
Semaglutide vs GLP-1(7-37)GLP-1(7-37) is the recorded structural reference for semaglutide. Semaglutide carries residue substitutions and a derivatized lysine side chain.
Identity and modification records
Growth hormone secretagogues
same family
Ipamorelin vs GHRP-6Ipamorelin and GHRP-6 are separate members of the growth-hormone secretagogue class. Their recorded peptide compositions differ.
Identity and modification records
Incretin and glucagon receptor ligands
fragment of
Oxyntomodulin vs GlucagonThe complete glucagon residue sequence forms the N-terminal portion of oxyntomodulin. Oxyntomodulin has an additional eight-residue C-terminal extension.
Aligned residue sequences and modification notes
same family
GLP-1(7-36) amide vs GLP-1(7-37)These are distinct GLP-1 processing forms: one ends in an amidated arginine, while the other retains an additional C-terminal glycine.

Kisspeptins
fragment of
Kisspeptin-10 vs Kisspeptin-14Kisspeptin-10 matches the final ten residues of kisspeptin-14. This sequence relationship does not establish a serial processing pathway.

Linear melanocortin analogs
commonly confused
Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) vs Melanotan IIMelanotan I is a linear thirteen-residue analog, while Melanotan II is a cyclic lactam heptapeptide. The shared name does not identify the same molecule.
Identity and modification records
Matrikine-derived peptides
parent and analog
GHK (Prezatide) vs Pal-GHK (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1)Pal-GHK is the N-palmitoylated derivative of the GHK tripeptide. Covalent acylation distinguishes it from free GHK.
Identity and modification records
parent and analog
Matrixyl vs KTTKS (Pentapeptide-4)The Matrixyl record describes N-palmitoylated KTTKS. The unmodified KTTKS peptide has a separate molecular identity.
Identity and modification records
Mitochondrial-derived peptides
parent and analog
Humanin (HN) vs HNG ([Gly14]-Humanin)HNG is the single-substitution humanin analog with glycine in place of serine at residue 14. The recorded sequences otherwise match.

Multi-receptor incretin analogs
same family
Tirzepatide vs RetatrutideTirzepatide and retatrutide are distinct members of the Library’s multi-receptor incretin analog class, with separate development codes and molecular identities.
