H-Lys-Cys-Thr-Cys-Cys-Ala-OH trifluoroacetate salt

CAS: 69557-39-7

H-Lys-Cys-Thr-Cys-Cys-Ala-OH trifluoroacetate salt (KCTA) is a peptide that belongs to the group of thioneins and is characterized by a high content of lysine, cysteine and histidine residues. This peptide has been shown to be effective in treating subcutaneous tumors in mice. KCTA binds to metallothionein and gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), which are proteins that regulate energy metabolism in cells. KCTA has also been shown to have antimicrobial effects against human serum, which may be due to its ability to bind with thionein.
