An immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) is a phosphorylation site consisting of a conserved sequence of four amino acids that is repeated twice in the cytoplasmic tails of cell-surface non-catalytic tyrosine-phosphorylated receptors. The major role of ITAMs is its involvement in the initiation of signalling pathway and the subsequent activation of immune cells. The motif has the following structure: YxxL/I. where xx are any two amino acids. Two of these signatures are typically separated by between 6 and 8 amino acids in the cytoplasmic tail of the molecule (YxxL/Ix(6-8)YxxL/I). ITAMs are found in the CD3 and θ¶-chains of the T cell receptor (TCR) complex. TCR is a multi-subunit receptor on the surface of T cells. TCR contains two ligand binding chains containing 20 phosphorylation sites, distributed on 10 ITAMs. The TCR θ¶-chain is a homodimer subunit that contains six ITAMs (12 sites). These sites are phosphorylated by the membrane-anchored Src family tyrosine kinase Lck and Fyn and are dephosphorylated by the transmembrane phosphatases CD148 and CD45. When both tyrosines in an ITAM are phosphorylated they generate docking sites for the tandem SH2 domains of the cytosolic tyrosine kinase ZAP-70. Bound ZAP-70 can phosphorylate tyrosines on other substrates that initiate the signal transduction that leads to T cell activation. The multiple ITAMs on the TCR function mainly to amplify subsequent signalling.T cells rely on the TCR to recognize antigens, in the form of peptides bound to major histocompatibility complexes (MHC), on the surfaces of antigen-presenting cells. Binding of TCR to antigen-MCH complexes leads to proliferation, differentiation, and the secretion of effector cytokines, contributing to the elimination of infections.Peso molecular:2,672.1 g/molApelin-36 Human
CAS:Apelin-36 (human) is derived from the apelin peptide which acts as a ligand for the apelin receptor (APJ) G protein coupled receptor and is a substrate for angiotensin converting enzyme 2. Preprapelin, encoded for by APLN located on Xq25-26.1, is cleaved to form either apelin 36, apelin 17, apelin 13, or apelin 12. As a member of the adipokine hormone family, which are involved in processes such as vascular homeostasis and angiogenesis, apelin is secreted from adipose tissue.Both apelin and the apelin receptor are widely distributed around the body thus apelin has been found to be associated with cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes and cancer. Studies exploring myocardial infarction showed there to be greater apelin mRNA expression during human heart failure compared to in healthy tissue. Apelin protects against heart failure due to, the pyroglutamyl form of apelin, playing a role in decreasing infarct size of myocardial infarctions. Furthermore in rats with hypertension, the expression of apelin and APJ was decreased.Peso molecular:4,193.3 g/molCyclo(CLLFVY)

Peptide derived from tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a cytokine produced by macrophages, T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. It exerts its function through targeting the transmembrane receptors TNF receptor 1 and TNF receptor 2, the latter of which it has a higher affinity for. When binding to TNF receptor 1 TNF-alpha is pro-apoptotic and when binding to TNF receptor 2 it is anti-apoptotic. TNF-α has further roles in inflammation, immunity and cancer.Expression of the TNF-α gene, located on chromosome 6 in humans is regulated by factors such as nuclear factor kappa b (NFKB).Dysregulation of TNF-α and its receptors can contribute to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn disease and diabetes. Anti-TNF-α can be used as a therapeutic agent to target TNF-α during inflammatory diseases.Peso molecular:2,729.4 g/molH-HLWC-NH2

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide found throughout the body and the central nervous system. VIP is located within cell bodies and nerve endings of the enteric nervous system, brain and pancreas. VIP neurons in the peripheral system fire to regulate blood vessels, and the CNS innervate cerebral vasculature. VIP binds to G protein-coupled receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2. VIP and VPAC2 are detected in circular smooth muscle cells of cerebral arterioles. VIP and VPAC1 are also found in lymphatic tissue. VIP can block inflammation, modify the Th response favouring Th2 and induce regulatory T cells. Overexpression of each receptor has been linked to various cancers.VIP administration leads to pancreatic bicarbonate-rich fluid secretion but not to the same degree stimulated by secretin. VIP stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and also stimulates glucagon secretion. Studies have found that in morbidly obese patients, VIP levels are lowered and work to slow gastric and duodenal motility but increase gastric emptying. Therefore, decreasing VIP levels in obese patients may increase weight gain by accelerating gastric emptying.VIP has been well studied in pancreatic acini. VIP is a full agonist of amylase secretion and increases cyclic AMP synchronised with an increase in intracellular Ca2+ triggered by stimuli that act through cholecystokinin (CCK) or cholinergic agonists. Most cAMP increases and amylase secretion appears to be mediated via VPAC1.

The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is present on the outside of the virus particles and can bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) present on the host cells. The C-terminal receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein binds to the N-terminal peptidase M2 domain of ACE2. This receptor binding results in the internalisation of the virus-receptor complex and is, therefore the mechanism of entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells.The spike protein residues SLIDLQELGK (1196-1205) from SARS-CoV-2 have been identified as a T-cell epitope with a predicted HLA restriction. Immune targeting of confirmed epitopes may potentially offer protection against SARS-CoV-2 and help the development of vaccines for long-lasting immunity.Peso molecular:1,114.6 g/molH-HNLGHGHK^-OH

[Cys]-Influenza Virus Nucleoprotein (311 - 325)
The Influenza Virus Nucleoprotein (311 - 325) is a component of the viral ribonucleotide complex, derived from the influenza virus and it is involved in viral replication, RNA packing and nuclear trafficking. As a monomer it contains basic residues which allow it to bind to single stranded RNA and through its flexible tail loop it has the ability to form NP oligomers.Furthermore NP is able to support the viral polymerase structurally, through associating with the two subunits PB1 and PB2, and it allows the viral ribonucleotide complex to be transported in and out of the nucleus due to its nuclear localisation and nuclear export signals.During influenza viral replication messenger RNA, viral genome RNA and complementary positive-sense RNA are produced and NP is crucial for this replication.Inhibitors of NP have potential to be used to prevent the influenza virus in humans.
Peso molecular:1,867.9 g/mol[5-TAMRA]-LPETGG N-terminal Sortagging
This peptide is recognised and cleaved by the enzyme Sortase A (SrtA) from-Staphylococcus aureus. The catalytic cysteine residue in the active site of SrtA serves as a nucleophile to cleave the peptide bond between threonine and glycine. Cleavage results in the formation of a thioacyl intermediate between the peptide and SrtA. This intermediate is then resolved by the N-terminus of an (oligo)glycine nucleophile, resulting in the creation of a new peptide bond that links the peptide and its fluorescent dye to the incoming nucleophile. This method of protein labelling is known as sortagging.5-Carboxytetramethylrhodamine (5-TAMRA) is a widely used fluorescent dye which excites at 546 nm and emits at 579 nm.Cor e Forma:PowderPeso molecular:983.4 g/molH-DLLDTASALYR^-OH

The C-terminal receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein binds to the N-terminal peptidase M2 domain of ACE2. This receptor binding results in the internalisation of the virus-receptor complex and is, therefore the mechanism of entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells.The spike protein residues GRLQSLQTY (999-1007) from C have been identified as a T-cell epitope with a predicted HLA restriction. Immune targeting of confirmed epitopes may potentially offer protection against SARS-CoV-2 and help the development of vaccines for long-lasting immunity.Peso molecular:1,064.6 g/molIntegral membrane TGN38A (350-361) acetyl, mouse
Integral membrane protein TGN38 cycles via endosomes between the cell surface and the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Peptides conjugated to the TGN38 sequence inhibit vesicle budding from TGN membranes-in vitro.-This leads to the conclusion that TGN38 is crucial for forming constitutive exocytic vesicles. The trafficking motif SDYQRL in the cytoplasmic domain at the C-terminal contains a critical tyrosine residue (Y). The motif interacts with the medium-chain adaptor subunits of AP-1/2 to allow sorting from the TGN. Mutation of the key tyrosine dramatically reduces binding affinity to AP-1/2. The flanking sequences to the trafficking motif affect the TGN38 localisation of hybrid proteins. Working with the mouse allele TGN38a has helped understand the conservation between mammalian, rat, and mouse TGN protein sequence and function. The TGN38a trafficking motif with flanking regions is provided here in an acid form with N-terminal acetylation.Peso molecular:1,489.8 g/molH-L^APITSDPTEATAVGAVEASFK-OH

Proinsulin 90-104
The development of type I diabetes occurs when auto-aggressive T cells are not controlled by T regulatory cells and are allowed to destroy pancreatic islet cells. This ultimately eliminates the production of insulin within the body. A more precise understanding of the regulatory T cell's antigen specificity by using antigens can provide significant clinical insights into the development of long-term diabetes. The proinsulin 90-104 fragment was used to test antigen-specific T-cell responses in type I diabetes CD4+ T cells. This peptide has helped show that the development of diabetes is linked to an increase in proinsulin-specific T regulatory cells, which may be regulating the rise in auto-aggressive T cells. Further work with the proinsulin 90-104 peptide could help design novel antigen-specific therapy.

Histone H3.2 is a highly common variant of the core histone H3 which is found in all eukaryotes except budding yeast. H3.2 is replication-dependent and is associated with gene silencing. Histone variants can replace canonical histones in certain cells or stages of development and help regulate numerous nuclear processes including transcription, DNA repair and chromosome segregation.Histone 3 (H3) which is one of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) fundamental in compacting eukaryotic DNA into the nucleosome. Both H4 and H3 are highly conserved and perform roles in binding to segments of DNA which enter and leave the nucleosome and in chromatin formation. Similar to the other core histone, H3 has a globular domain and a flexible N-terminal domain, 'histone tail' which can undergo modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination.Peso molecular:4,668.7 g/molACTH (7-39) human
C- terminal fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) also known as corticotropin, and competitive antagonist of ACTH receptor (ACTHR), also known as melanocortin type 2 receptor (MC2R).ACTH is a member of the melanocortins-peptide family, this tropic hormone is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. ACTH is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and is often produced in response to biological stress. ACTH acts to increase the production and release of cortisol via its interaction with ACTHR. Receptor activation increases the intracellular concentration of cAMP via adenylyl cyclase. Abnormal ACTH levels in the body have been linked to primary adrenal insufficiency/Addison's disease, Cushing's disease and secondary adrenal insufficiency.Cor e Forma:PowderPeso molecular:3,804 g/molCMVpp65 - 30 (PLKMLNIPSINVHHY)

CAS:Angiotensin-IV is primarily produced from angiotensin-III by the removal of an arginine residue from the N-terminal by membrane alanyl aminopeptidase N (AP-N). Ang-IV can however also be formed by the action of aminopeptidases on Ang-I directly.Ang-IV has been shown to enhance cognitive functions, although how it does this in still unclear. It has been suggested that Ang-IV is able to inhibit the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) receptor in the brain (originally defined as the AT(4) receptor). IRAP is a single-spanning transmembrane zinc-metallopeptidase that belongs to the M1 family of aminopeptidases and its substrates include vasopressin, somatostatin, and cholecystokinin. The half-life of these compounds are prolonged when IRAP is inhibited by Ang-IV, and this may result in the enhanced cognitive abilities seen with Ang-IV treatment. c-Met, a tyrosine kinase receptor that binds hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has also been proposed as an Ang IV targets. c-Met is associated with memory and learning consolidation.

P1A was the first tumour antigen identified to be recognised by cytotoxic T cells. Tumour antigens are highly expressed on tumour cells however, they are also expressed during early embryogenesis then largely silenced in adulthood thus termed onco-fetal antigens. Targetting tumours expressing these antigens is possible due to their absence in adult tissue (apart from within the testes and placenta). The immune response to the P1A antigen is the major component of the tumour rejection response observed in normal mice. P1A antigen has been tested as a vaccine for tumours to induce P1A-specific CD8+ tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Therefore, the P1A antigen is a useful tool in the search in new cancer immunotherapies using targeted tumour-specific antigens.Peso molecular:1,105.6 g/molNictide
LRRK2 is a leucine rich repeat kinase 2. Increase in LRRK2 kinase activity due to mutation has been linked to numerous forms of Parkinson disease (PD). Theoretically, identification of suitable inhibitors of LRRK2 could be the basis for treatments of PD. Markers of LRRK2 activity and function are available that may be clinically relevant in the future as prognostic indicators. Nictide is a substrate model peptide for LRRK2 activity in in vitro kinase assay analysis. -LRRK2 phosphorylates Rab GTPases and alters their association with effector proteins leading to changes in a vast array of cellular functions including the immune response. The use of in vitro kinase assays with small molecules substrates makes screening for LRRK2 inhibitors possible. Alongside nictide, LRRKtide is also used in the same in vitro assays as a substrate model peptide for LRRK2.- Nictide and LRRKtide are available in our catalogue.Peso molecular:2,748.5 g/molAcetyl-Alpha-synuclein (1-13)
Acetylated α-synuclein (1-13) is derived from the alpha-synuclein intrinsically disordered protein which is found in the neurons and presynaptic terminals. Encoded by the SNCA1/PARK1 gene alpha-synclein is structurally composed of 140 amino acids, making up the three domains: N-terminal membrane binding domain, a hydrophobic non-amyloid-β component domain and a hydrophilic C-terminal domain. Usually alpha-synuclein plays a role in protecting neurons from apoptotic stimuli and is involved in synaptic vesical trafficking.However it has been found that the accumulation of alpha-synuclein aggregates can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy. It is further involved in the fibrilisation of amyloid-b and tau which play a major role in Alzheimer disease. Amyloid fibrils are formed from alpha synuclein monomers within the cytosol and when bound to membranes these monomers can undergo conformational changes to form protofibrils and then ring like oligomers. This can result in the formation of transmembrane pores which disrupts the membrane, calcium homeostasis and signalling.Alpha-synuclein can be subjected to the post-translational modifications of phosphorylation and N-terminal acetylation. When acetylation occurs at the N-terminus of an alpha-synuclein monomer, the intramolecular hydrogen bonds are altered thus reducing the rate of alpha-synuclein aggregation and the strength at which it interacts with the membrane is increased.
Peso molecular:1,524.8 g/molBid BH3 Peptide
The Bid BH3 Peptide is derived from the pro-apoptotic proteins Bid (BH3-interacting domain death agonist) and BH3, which are both members of the BCL-2 family proteins and activate the BAX and BAK proteins to promote apoptosis.The process of apoptosis can be activated by the intrinsic or extrinsic pathways, the former is activated by stress stimuli such as DNA damage and nutrient deficiency, while the latter is induced through activation of the death receptors FAS and TRAIL.The BCL-2 family's transmembrane anchor at the C-terminus allows them to locate at the mitochondrial outer membrane and play a vital role in apoptosis.Within the mitochondria BH3 molecules, containing the members BID, BIM, PUMA and NOXA, can be activated by the intrinsic pathway. These in turn can initiate the homo-oligomerisation of BAX and BAK which induce mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilisation (MOMP) and the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol. Here cytochrome c associates with APAF-1 and dATP, ultimately activating effector caspase3/7 and apoptosis.In addition to Bid's role in apoptosis, it also plays a role within a mitosis checkpoint and genomic stability maintenance. Bid's main role is in the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. When the death receptors are activated Caspase-8 generates tBid through the cleavage of Bid. This then locates to and targets Bax to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) where it induces permeabilisation and hence apoptosis.Cor e Forma:PowderPeso molecular:2,308.2 g/molH-MHVAQPAVVLASSR^-OH

Human Lysozyme (107-115)
Human Lysozyme (107-115) is derived from human lysozyme, a glycosidase enzyme which can kill both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This can be carried out in a catalytic manner through the hydrolysis of peptidoglycan in the cell wall or alternatively in a non-catalytic manner. Due to the surface of bacteria being negatively charged, they are vulnerable to be targeted by the human lysozyme which is cationic. These antimicrobial properties can be used therapeutically as an anti-pseudomonal agent.Structurally the human lysozyme is comprised of four intramolecular disulphide bonds, four alpha helices within an alpha domain and β-sheets within a β-domain. Human lysozyme (107-115) is found within the α-domain.Peso molecular:1,212.7 g/molH-VFLENVIR^-OH

Temporins are a large family of short, linear, AMPs produced in the skin of frogs belonging to Rana species, but are also found in wasp venom. Temporin-SHf is the smallest natural linear AMP found to date and has a highly hydrophobic sequence (75%) plus the highest percentage of phenylalanine residues of any known peptide (50%).Temporin-SHf works by disrupting the acyl chain packing of anionic lipid bilayers, causing cracks and microbial membrane disintegration through a detergent-like effect. Temporin-SHf is a promising candidate for the development of a new class of anti-microbial drugs.Cor e Forma:PowderPeso molecular:1,075.3 g/molHistone H3 (1-8)
Histone H3 (1-8) is derived from Histone 3 (H3) which is one of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) fundamental in compacting eukaryotic DNA into the nucleosome. The nucleosome arises when 147 base pairs of DNA wrap around a H3-H4 tetramer and two H2A-H2B dimers, forming the histone octamer core. Both H4 and H3 are highly conserved and perform roles in binding to segments of DNA which enter and leave the nucleosome and in chromatin formation. Similar to the other core histone, H3 has a globular domain and a flexible N-terminal domain 'histone tail' which can undergo modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Due to histones containing a large number of lysine and arginine residues they have a positive net charge which interacts in an electrostatic manner with the negatively charged phosphate groups in DNA. The transcriptional activation or silencing of the chromatin is controlled by ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling factors and histone modifying enzymes which target histone proteins. Both processes function to alter the positioning of the nucleosome, allowing the DNA it to be either available or inaccessible to the transcription machinery.Peso molecular:931.05 g/molSeptin 3

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide found throughout the body and the central nervous system (CNS). VIP is located within cell bodies and nerve endings of the enteric nervous system, brain and pancreas. VIP neurons in the peripheral system fire to regulate blood vessels, and the CNS innervate cerebral vasculature. VIP binds to G protein-coupled receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2. VIP and VPAC2 are detected in circular smooth muscle cells of cerebral arterioles. VIP and VPAC1 are also found in lymphatic tissue. VIP can block inflammation, modify the Th response favouring Th2 and induce regulatory T cells. Overexpression of each receptor has been linked to various cancers.VIP administration leads to pancreatic bicarbonate-rich fluid secretion but not to the same degree stimulated by secretin. VIP stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and also stimulates glucagon secretion. Studies have found that in morbidly obese patients, VIP levels are lowered and work to slow gastric and duodenal motility but increase gastric emptying. Therefore, decreasing VIP levels in obese patients may increase weight gain by accelerating gastric emptying.VIP has been well studied in pancreatic acini. VIP is a full agonist of amylase secretion and increases cyclic AMP synchronised with an increase in intracellular Ca2+ triggered by stimuli that act through cholecystokinin (CCK) or cholinergic agonists. Most cAMP increases, and amylase secretion appear to be mediated via VPAC1.The discovery of VPAC antagonists can help to understand VIPs roles and may also provide new therapies in VIP dysregulated systems such as cancers. VIP (6-28) is a specific competitive inhibitor of the VIP receptor derived from VIP. VIP-induced vasodilatation was blocked by co-administration of the VIP receptor antagonist VIP (6-28). Using a VIP receptor antagonist has made VIP function easier to study during neuronal injury, inflammation, and heart innervation. The VIP receptor antagonist is being considered for osteoarthritis treatment, an area with no current treatments other than analgesics.
Peso molecular:898.5 g/molLL-37 fragment (24-29)
LL-37 is a member of the large cationic family of anti-microbial peptides called cathelicidins which have broad-spectrum anti-microbial activity and are expressed in many species. The only cathelicidin found in humans is LL-37, this is produced in epithelial cells, by proteolytic cleavage from the C-terminal of the hCAP-18 protein. LL-37 can be processed into different forms of anti-microbial peptides. As well as its anti-microbial properties LL-37 also regulates many aspects of the innate immune system and overexpression of LL-37 has been linked to autoimmune diseases such as asthma and psoriasis, making LL-37 the most studied form of the human cathelicidin peptides.More recently, studies have shown that LL-37 binds to SARS-CoV-2 S protein and inhibits binding to its receptor hACE2, which may inhibit viral entry into the cell. LL-37 is upregulated by vitamin D, therefore this may be one mode of action for the positive outcomes seen with vitamin D treatment for Covid-19.
Cor e Forma:PowderPeso molecular:790.5 g/molbeta-Amyloid (1-14) Biotin
Amino acids 1-14 of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ).Aβ has been identified as the key subunit of the extracellular plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Down's syndrome (DS). Aβ has therefore been extensively studied as a potential target for treatment of AD. Aβ is formed from the cleavage of the large, transmembrane protein- APP (amyloid precursor protein). Cleavage of APP by β- and then γ-secretases results in the formation of Aβ. Aβ can aggregate to produce amyloid-β oligomers, which are thought to be highly neurotoxic. Over time Aβ can further aggregate to produce the characteristic senile plaques present in AD and DS. Aβ can be degraded by enzymes such as neprilysin, insulin degrading enzyme or endothelin converting enzyme. At physiological levels Aβ may be involved in controlling synaptic activity and neuronal survival.Contains a C-terminal biotin tag for easy detection and purification.Peso molecular:1,965.9 g/molMyelin Basic Protein (MBP) (68-82), guinea pig
The 14 amino acid fragment of myelin basic protein (MBP) (68-82) can induce experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in Lewis rats. EAE is the most used experimental model for studying the human inflammatory demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS).MBP is an integral component of myelin found in the central nervous system (CNS). MBP is considered vital for the development and stability of the myelin sheath where it plays a role in membrane adhesion. MPBs constitute an extraordinarily varied collection of splice isoforms which show a myriad of post-translational modifications. MBP may be targeted by auto-antibodies in diseases such as MS. Use of MBP fragments in immunology assays are helping to answer this. The low affinity of MBP (1-9) peptide for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules may result in MBP autoreactive T cells escaping central-tolerance, where self-reactive T cells are usually eliminated. The activity induced by MBP (68-82) suggests it can cause EAE but other EAE MBP peptides were found to induce a stronger response. The MBP (68-82) and others available in our catalogue may help to understand the nature of demyelinating diseases and find the target autoantigens of conditions such as MS.Cor e Forma:PowderPeso molecular:1,735.8 g/molSIVmac239 - 82

Alyteserin-1c
Alyerserin-1c is a C-terminally α-amidated 23 residue Cationic antimicrobial peptide (AMP) with a net charge of +2. Anti-microbial peptides (AMPs) are produced by the innate immune system and are expressed when the host is challenged by a pathogen. The Alyerserin family of peptides was first identified in norepinephrine-stimulated skin secretions of the midwife toad-Alytes obstetricans-(Alytidae). Alyteserin-1 peptides have limited structural similarity to the ascaphins from the skins of frogs of the Leiopelmatidae family. Alyteserin-1 peptides are selective at inhibiting growth activity of Gram-negative bacteria-such as Escherichia coli and show weak haemolytic activity against human erythrocytes.Alyteserin contain at least 50% hydrophobic amino acids. Hydrophobic residues contribute to the insertion of the peptide into the hydrophobic membrane core which results in membrane disruption and death of the pathogen. Due to their mechanism of action it is less likely for resistance to develop towards such peptides compared to conventional antibiotics.Peso molecular:2,265.74 g/molClick TP10
TP10 is an amphipathic cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) also known as transportan 10. Its formation involves the use of a lysine residue to form a chimeric linkage between a mastoparan 21-residue peptide, a wasp venon 14-residue peptide and 6-residues derived from the neuropeptide galanin. Structurally TP10 contains only positively charged amino acids along with 4 lysines and an N-terminus. Therefore, it will produce a +5 charge under conditions of a neutral pH. It has been found that TP10 may aid molecules in penetrating through the cell membrane barrier through directly interacting with the lipid bilayer. During these interactions with the membrane TP10 will form an amphipathic α-helix. TP10 can be used in transduction methods.TP10 is provided here with a N-terminal alkyne attachment. Two of the most regularly encountered functional groups for click chemistry are azides and alkynes, and the azide-alkyne cycloaddition has become the most popular click reaction. The use of click chemistry with alkyne-TP10 allows a wide variety of applications particularly for conjugation, modification, and peptide design. Fluorescent labelling of TP10 for drug delivery has been used in vivo.

IRBP (1-20) is derived from the interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP), present in the interphotoreceptor matrix and is expressed by cone and rod photoreceptors in the eye. IRBP is involved in retinoid delivery and protects retinal cells from oxidative stress.In retinitis pigmentosa patients, IRBP can be subjected to mutations resulting in a non-secreted form of IRBP to be produced. Furthermore IRBP gene mutations have been associated with high myopia and retinal dystrophy.The expression of IRBP is reduced in diabetes patients which may lead to visual cycle misfunction and the photoreceptors can be vulnerable to damage.

PTH 13-34 is a biologically active fragment of parathyroid hormone (PTH) with hypertensive activities. PTH 13-34 is being trialled as a possible treatment for osteoporosis (to replace the existing recombinant human PTH 1-34 treatment peptide).PTH is an 84-amino-acid polypeptide hormone (PTH 1-84) which is secreted by the parathyroid glands along with its fragments (such as PTH 1-34 and PTH 7-84). PTH increases calcium and decrease phosphate levels in the blood and the abundance of PTH-derived peptides is regulated by blood calcium levels. PTH inhibits the bone growth-promoting activity of osteoblasts and induces osteoclasts to resorb bone and release calcium and phosphate ions into the blood. PTH binds to and activates the receptor parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTHR1). PTHR1 is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which regulates mineral ion homeostasis, bone turnover and skeletal development.Peso molecular:2,806.5 g/molH-VVVGAGGVGK^-OH

(Cbz-LGR)2-[Rh110]
The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi that causes South American trypanosomiasis expresses peptidases during its entire parasitic life cycle. Understanding better the function and specificity of the peptidases may lead to new inhibitors and potential therapies. It has been shown this alkaline peptidase has a preference for basic amino acids at position one and position two of the substrate. The sequence Leu-Gly-Arg was shown to have a high Km and high Vmax compared to other peptides tested.Provided here is a fluorogenic peptide substrate for Trypanosoma cruzi alkaline peptidase. In its entire state, this peptide is not fluorescent. However, this peptide is cleaved by T. cruzi alkaline peptidase. Upon rhodamine 110 fluorophore release, fluorescence can then be detected. This peptide, therefore, allows for the quantification of T. cruzi alkaline peptidase activity. Rhodamine 110 is a widely used red fluorescent probe.Peso molecular:1,250.6 g/molHistone H3 (1-21)
Histone H3 (1-21) is derived from Histone 3 (H3) which is one of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) fundamental in compacting eukaryotic DNA into a structure known as the nucleosome. The nucleosome arises when 147 base pairs of DNA wrap around a H3-H4 tetramer and two H2A-H2B dimers, forming the histone octamer core. Both H4 and H3 are highly conserved and perform roles in binding to segments of DNA which enter and leave the nucleosome and in chromatin formation.

Histone H3 (1-21) and these assays have already provided vital insights into the role's modifications play on the core histone functions.

BRAF dimers are a core component of the MAPK cascade to pass extracellular stimulus signalling to the nucleus. However, BRAF is also the most often mutated kinase in human cancers resulting in hyperactivation of signalling. BRAF inhibitors are thus a target for cancer therapy treatments.Braftide is a decamer of BRAF sequence found in the dimer interface. It binds allosterically to BRAF preventing kinase activity of mono/dimeric forms. It also leads to the degradation of BRAF and downregulation of MAPK signalling. This creates an ideal dual function inhibitor of a key kinase in cancers such as metastatic melanoma.Peso molecular:1,241.7 g/molSMAP-18
SMAP -18 is a truncated form of sheep myeloid anti-microbial peptide-29 (SMAP-29). SMAP-29 displays extremely high anti-microbial activity against fungi and gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas strains and multidrug-resistant pathogens, however it also has high cytotoxic activity to human cells. The carboxyl terminal is more hydrophobic and may be responsible for higher hemolytic activity of SMAP-29, whereas the anti-microbial activity has been attributed to the N-terminal amphipathic alpha-helix region (residues 1-18). SMAP-18 displays much higher cell selectivity as compared to parental SMAP-29 because of their decreased hemolytic activity and retained anti-microbial activity.The cathelicidins are a large family of structurally diverse host defence peptide (HDP- formerly called antimicrobial peptides) found in mammalian species including humans. All members of the cathelicidin family contain an N-terminal cathelin domain and a C-terminal domain of varied structure that displays anti-microbial activity.Peso molecular:2,063.3 g/mol
