CT20p

CT20p is an anticancer peptide based on the C hydrophobic terminus of Bax. CT20p has a unique cytotoxic effect independent of full-length Bax, and can act on mitochondria, leading to fusion-like aggregation and mitochondrial membrane hyperpolarization. CT20p can reduce α5β1 integrin levels and inhibit F-actin polymerization, thereby destroying the cytoskeleton and preventing cell attachment. CT20p can be used in the study of breast cancer[1].
