Contains the nuclear localization sequence (NLS) of the transcription factor NF-kB p50 linked to the hydrophobic region (h-region) of the signal peptide of Kaposi fibroblast growth factor (K-FGF). The N-terminal K-FGF h-region confers cell-permeability, while the NLS (360-369) inhibits translocation of the NF-kB active complex into the nucleus. In murine endothelial LE-II cells induced by LPS, NF-kB nuclear translocation is maximally inhibited at 18uM.Formula:C129H230N36O29SSequence:H-Ala-Ala-Val-Ala-Leu-Leu-Pro-Ala-Val-Leu-Leu-Ala-Leu-Leu-Ala-Pro-Val-Gln-Arg-Lys-Arg-Gln-Lys-Leu-Met-Pro-OHSolubility:H2O (5mg/ml)Molecular Weight:2781.5Storage and Stability:Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C.
