Octaarginine

Octaarginine is a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) known for its membrane-translocating activity. CPP's inherent ability to enter cells makes it useful for delivering various membrane-impermeable bioactive agents intracellularly. Additionally, CPP is employed to transport antimicrobial agents into intracellular bacteria.
