TLKIVW Peptide

Tau binding peptide targeting the PHF seed of Tau


Usage and Biology

TLKIVW is a hexapeptide designed using Rosetta software to bind to VQIVYK steric zipper motif of tau fibers, which is from primarily reasons for the Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia related diseases, also it can prevent further accumulation of tau fibrils.
