WINK 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

WINK is a peptide with amino acid sequence of DVQWINKKRK, it is acquired by mirror phage display 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 derives tau aggregation. WINK can bind to PHF* in a way that can disrupt the interaction between fibrils and consequently reduce the aggregates.
