PDpep1.3

PDpep1.3 is a peptide inhibitor of α-synuclein that disrupts the direct interaction between α-synuclein and CHarged Multivesicular body Protein 2B (CHMP2B) . As a result, PDpep1.3 restores the degradation function of endosomes and lysosomes, reduces the protein level and aggregation of α-synuclei, and protects dopaminergic neurons from α-synuclei-mediated degeneration. PDpep1.3 can be used to study neurodegenerative diseases and protein-protein interactions[1].
