Pep2-8
Cat. No. OP-020
Structure:
Ac-Thr-Val-Phe-Thr-Ser-Trp-Glu-Glu-Tyr-Leu-Asp-Trp-Val-NH2
Activity:
PCSK9 inhibitor
Pep2-8 is a peptide from a phage library that was identified as the smallest proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9 inhibitor) with a clearly defined mechanism of inhibition. Pep2-8 binds to PCSK9 with a KD of 0.7 μm but has no affinity for other proprotein convertases. Pep2-8 restores low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor function and LDL uptake in PCSK9-treated HepG2 cells.
