Description: Peptide to Ac-[D-Lys2, Sar3]-MPF Form: Lyophilized powder CAS Number : 81483-91-2Molecular Formula : C22H40N6O8Molecular Weight : 516.6Purity : > 95%Chemical Structure : Ac-Lys-D-Lys-Sar-GluApplication : This metabolically stable analog of MPF is known as a neurotrophic peptide capable of CNS regeneration. It has been shown to reduce parkinsonian-like behaviour in rats with unilateral lesions of their nigro-striatal pathways. This effect is related to reversal of the mitochondrial damage to the neurons. As a mitochondrial defect is supposed to be the initial step in the genesis of Parkinson's disease, the peptide may be a very useful tool in the investigation of this disease.Storage/Stability : Shipped at 4°C.
