TD28 Peptide

Tau binding peptide targeting the PHF seed of Tau

Usage and Biology

It is derived from D-enantiomeric peptide, its amino acid sequence is TTSLQMRLYYP. Its half maximal concentration for tau fibril formation inhibition is 7.9 μM, it can bind to tau at PHF seed VQIVYK. It can penetrate cell membrane and nuclei.
