MMD3 Peptide

A synthetic peptide that is used for targeting misfolded tau protein (BBa_K4165009) as it binds to PHF6 (BBa_K4165204) of tau fibrils.

Usage and Biology

MMD3 peptide (DPLKARHTSVWY), it is the D-enantiomeric peptide of MM3 (BBa_K4165154). It binds to 275-VQIINK-280 (PHF*) and 306-VQIVYK-311 (PHF) motifs of tau that are reported to drive tau paired helical filament aggregates. Thus, it inhibits formation of PHF6* and full‐length Tau aggregates, but not PHF driven aggregates, and prevents the formation of tau β‐sheet‐rich fibrils.
