KNT Peptide

A synthetic peptide that is used for targeting misfolded tau protein (BBa_K4165009) as it binds to PHF6 of tau fibrils.

Usage and Biology

KNT (KNTPQHRKLRLS) is a peptide tested as an inhibitor for tau aggregation. Its half maximal concentration for tau fibril formation inhibition is 182.8 μM, and it can bind to tau at PHF seed (VQIVYK). The peptide can penetrate cell membrane and cytosol of N2a cells
