W-MINK Peptide
Tau binding peptide targeting the PHF seed of Tau
Usage and Biology
W-MINK is a peptide with amino acid sequence of DVWMINKKRK, it is designed to inhibit the fibrilization of tau which is one of the main drivers of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia diseases. PHF* (VQIINK) is the site that derive tau aggregation. W-MINK can bind to PHF* in a mean that can disrupt the interface between each PHF* and consequently reduce the aggregates. Its IC50 for inhibition of tau aggregates were 1.1 μM.
