Pep2-8 TFA

• CAT Number: I040715
• Molecular Formula: C85H111F3N16O26
• Molecular Weight: 1715.85 (free base)
• Purity: ≥95%

Pep2-8 is a peptide which has enhanced the antagonistic activity of proprotein convertase subtilin/ kexin 9 type (PCSK9)[1].
Pep2-8 TFA binds to C-terminally truncated PCSK9[1].
Pep2-8 TFA restored LDL uptake of PCSK9-treated HepG2 cells to about 90% of control activity at a concentration of 50 μM[1].
