Axiom · Volume I · Pathway Atlas

A field guide to the biochemical pathways underwriting peptide research.

Four plates. Three converging axes. Mechanism diagrams that move along the signal direction so you can read a cascade in the time it takes to find your coffee. Every claim traces to citation.

Every plate maps a research mechanism the published literature treats as a coherent unit. Hover any node to follow its signal.

Standard
Citation-anchored

No interpretation is invented for marketing. Every claim in this atlas traces to peer-reviewed literature or to a referenced clinical trial.

Compound
Reference-grade focus

The compounds catalogued here are research reference standards. None are presented as approved therapeutics.

Provenance
COA literacy

A separate plate breaks down every line of a Certificate of Analysis — purity reads, mass-spec identity, counter-ion, peptide content.

Four plates. Three converging axes.

Each plate maps a research mechanism the published literature treats as a coherent unit. Hover any node to follow its signal. No interpretation is invented for marketing — every claim traces to citation.

Plate I

Dual Incretin & Amylin Axis

GLP-1R · GIPR · AMYR co-agonism

The dual-incretin axis is the most-studied metabolic-pathway pair in modern peptide-pharmacology literature. GLP-1 and GIP — both gut-derived — converge on pancreatic beta cells through complementary receptors. The amyli…

§
Plate II

Metabolic × GH-Axis Integration

GLP-1R · GIPR · AMYR · GHSR coupling

Where Plate I maps a single axis, Plate II maps two — the incretin / amylin convergence laid over the ghrelin-receptor pulsatile growth-hormone axis. The two share no obvious endpoint; they share a research-design patter…

Plate III

Tissue Repair × Extracellular Matrix

NO · actin · MMP / collagen modulation

Plate III maps the canonical tissue-repair reference trio. BPC-157 and TB-500 act through complementary mechanisms — nitric-oxide / angiogenesis and actin sequestration / cell migration respectively. GHK-Cu, the copper t…

Plate IV

Multi-System Integration

Six compounds · three converging axes

Plate IV is the integration plate. Six compounds across three research axes — incretin / amylin, ghrelin-receptor / GH, and tissue repair / ECM — drawn as a single intersecting field. Research programs that span multiple…

The dual-incretin axis is the most-studied metabolic-pathway pair in modern peptide-pharmacology literature. GLP-1 and GIP — both gut-derived — converge on pancreatic beta cells through complementary receptors. The amylin axis, co-secreted with insulin, reinforces the same satiet…

Research-utility tools

Calculators for reference-standard work.

Four utilities — reconstitution, half-life, dilution conversion, and COA literacy — built on the same data the plates reference. Pure utility. No claims, no protocols.

Comparison preview

Four plates, side-by-side.

Each plate covers a different combination of research axes. Use the matrix to find the plate that maps the literature you're already reading.

Common questions

Before you open the first plate.

What is this atlas?
A visual editorial reference for the biochemical pathways underwriting peptide research. Each plate maps a receptor family, the ligands studied in that family, and the downstream signaling. Plates are read like a field guide — citation-anchored, not sales copy.
Are the plate diagrams interactive?
Yes. Hover any node to highlight every edge it participates in. Kinetic edges (drawn in plate-cyan) are signal flows you can read directionally end-to-end. The diagrams are hand-coded SVG — no charting library — so they ship in the static HTML for crawler indexing.
Where do the sourcing notes route to?
Where a plate carries an editorial sourcing note, the link routes to revialife.com — the supplier the atlas relies on for its provenance baseline (per-lot Certificates of Analysis with HPLC chromatograms in the open). Axiom Editorial earns a referral fee on this routing; the disclosure is on every plate.

This atlas is editorial. It does not sell, prescribe, or recommend. Where reference standards for catalogued compounds are required, sourcing notes route to independently-published supplier directories.
