Retro-inverso TAT-Beclin 1 (D-amino acid)

The compound retro-inverso TAT-Beclin 1 D-amino acid demonstrates superior activity and resistance to proteolytic degradation compared to the L-amino acid peptide when used in vivo. TAT-Beclin 1 is capable of inducing autophagy in peripheral tissues of adult mice and in the central nervous system of newborn mice.
