L-JNKI-1

• CAT Number: I046263
• Molecular Formula: C164H286N66O40
• Molecular Weight: 3822.44
• Purity: ≥95%

L-JNKI-1 is a cell-permeable peptide inhibitor specific for JNK.
L-JNKI-1 has been shown to effectively inhibit JNK activity in in vivo studies. It is shown that Ang II induces a dose-dependent pressor response, which was significantly attenuated by JNK inhibition[1]. It is also found that 10 μM L-JNKI-1 decreases phosphorylated c-Jun by 98% and phosphorylated Elk-1 by 100%. L-JNKI-1 is able to across the blood-brain barrier and penetrate neurons of adult mice and P5 rats within 1 h after an intraperitoneal injection[2].
