TAT-DEF-Elk-1 TFA is a cell-penetrating peptide Elk-1 inhibitor, mimics and specifically interferes with the DEF domain of Elk-1. TAT-DEF-Elk-1 blocks Elk-1 phosphorylation and prevents Elk-1 nuclear translocation without interfering with ERK nor MSK1 act
BNC-1 is a modulator of amyloid pathology. BNC-1 significantly decreases amyloid burden and improves markers of synaptic integrity in well-established mouse models of amyloid deposition by promoting phosphorylation and activation of Elk-1.
