KNT Peptide

Tau binding peptide targeting the PHF seed of Tau

Usage and Biology

KNT is a peptide tested as an inhibitor for tau aggregation. Its half maximal concentration for tau fibril formation inhibition is 182.8 μM, it can bind to tau at PHF seed (VQIVYK), its amino acid sequence is KNTPQHRKLRLS. It can penetrate cell membrane and cytosol of N2a cells
