MM2 Peptide

Tau binding peptide targeting the PHF seed of Tau

Usage and Biology

The amino acid sequence of the MM2 peptide is LTPHKHHKHLHA. Its charge is +2.5, hydrophobicity is 33 %, molecular weight is 1455.67 Da. MM2 can reduce tau aggregates of full-length tau but not PHF* or PHF (VQIINK and VQIVYK respectively).
