General description

The p75NTR inhibitor Pep5 (Cat. No. 506180) is made cell-permeable by fusing it with the N-terminal protein transduction domain sequence (11 amino acids) from HIV protein TAT. Shown to act as an effective blocker of MAG- and Nogo-induced inhibition of neurite outgrowth in both DRG (dorsal root ganglion) and postnatal cerebellar neurons. A potential therapeutic agent against inhibition of regeneration in the central nervous system.
