Import enhancer - HIV TAT penetratin (trojan peptide)

Trojan peptides are short sequences that penetrate through the plasma membrane inside the cell without the need of any receptor or endocitosis process [Derossi 1998]. They can be used to increase the efficiency with which a protein enters a cell.

This part is the penetratin from the HIV TAT protein, and has to be used just before the coding sequence of the peptide that you want to be import enhanced.
