BG-TZ2
BG-TZ2 is a lab-made peptide: a chain of 39 amino acids, with a fatty-acid tail attached to one of them.
Where the name comes from
BG-TZ2 is a BioGenisys catalog code, not a scientific name. The lab report for each lot confirms the compound's identity.
Attaching a fatty-acid tail to a peptide is a chemistry technique researchers began using in the 1990s to help long peptides stay intact longer.

Lab reports
Every batch (called a lot) of BG-TZ2 is tested by an independent lab. The report shows the lab, the test date, the lot number, how pure the sample is and how much is in the vial. Find them on the Certificates of Analysis page. New to lab reports? Start with How to read a peptide lab report.
Storage
Keep the vial sealed in a freezer at -20 °C, away from light, and let it warm to room temperature before opening so moisture doesn't get in. More in Storing lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides in the lab and the Research handling guidelines.
