Nef-M1

Nef-M1 (Nef-Motif-1) is an antagonist peptide targeting CXCR4 and an apoptosis inducer derived from a myristoylated protein encoded by the nef gene in HIV. Nef-M1 inhibits tumor angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) . Nef-M1 activates the apoptosis pathway by increasing the level of caspase-3 in cancer cells. Nef-M1 simultaneously inhibits VEGF-A, p-GSK-3β and vimentin, and enhances E-cadherin, thereby inhibiting angiogenesis and EMT processes. Nef-M1 can be used in the study of colorectal cancer and breast cancer[1][2].
