Peptide T is an octapeptide from the V2 region of HIV-1 gp120. This synthetic octapeptide potentially functions through competitive inhibition of gp120 binding to the CD4 receptor, as well as interaction with vasointestinal peptide (VIP) receptors.
Peptide T (TFA) is an octapeptide derived from the V2 region of HIV-1 gp120. It serves as a ligand for the CD4 receptor, effectively inhibiting the binding of HIV to the CD4 receptor.
Thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP-14) is a 14-amino acid peptide agonist of the α-thrombin receptor. It induces aggregation of washed platelets as well as platelets in citrated and hirudin plasma. TRAP-14 (100 μM) increases the cytosolic calcium concentration in isolated guinea pig pulmonary smooth muscle cells 5-fold over baseline. It increases pulmonary arterial pressure in isolated guinea pig lung when used at a concentration of 1 μM, which is comparable to the effect induced by 10 nM α-thrombin. TRAP-14 also induces contraction of isolated rat aortic rings and increases endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in a dose-dependent manner, an effect that is reversed by the ETA antagonist BQ-123 and the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-NNA .
TAT peptide corresponds to the polycationic aa49-57 region of TAT protein. TAT peptide is a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) used to cargo larger molecules through the lipophilic barrier of the cellular membranes to deliver them inside the cells with intact
This peptide is a scrambled sequence of NADPH oxidase assembly peptide inhibitor gp91 ds-tat. It is used as a control peptide. It is two amino acid residues shorter at the N-terminus compared to the scrambled gp91 ds-tat.
Substance P-related peptide that inhibits binding of G proteins to their receptors. Competitively and reversibly inhibits M2 muscarinic receptor activation of Gi or Go and inhibits Gs activation by β-adrenoceptors.
Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) antagonist. Blocks S100P, S100A4 and HMGB-1 mediated RAGE activation in vitro and in vivo. Inhibits growth and metastasis of rat glioma tumors. Reduces cell growth and RAGE-mediated NF-κB activity in hum
