Pep2-8(CAT: I015122) is a potent inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), with an IC₅₀ of 0.8 μM for blocking PCSK9 binding to the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor. By inhibiting this interaction, Pep2-8 enhances LDL receptor recycling and promotes LDL cholesterol clearance from the bloodstream, making it a valuable tool in cardiovascular and lipid metabolism research. This compound provides critical insights into PCSK9-related pathways and supports the development of therapeutic strategies for hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular diseases through targeted modulation of LDL receptor activity.
