PKMζ[1]
ZIP targets protein kinase Mζ (PKMζ), a constitutively active atypical PKC isozyme that plays a critical role in the maintenance of long-term potentiation (LTP) and memory. By inhibiting PKMζ, ZIP disrupts synaptic plasticity and memory maintenance. The peptide is derived from the pseudosubstrate region of PKCζ and acts as a competitive inhibitor. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
ZIP demonstrates potent in vitro inhibition of PKMζ activity. As a cell-permeable peptide, it can enter cells and specifically inhibit PKMζ, blocking its kinase activity. The compound's activity is typically assessed in kinase assays using purified PKMζ or in cell-based assays measuring PKMζ-mediated phosphorylation of substrates.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of ZIP has been demonstrated in animal models, where injections of ZIP can block the impairment in morphine conditioned place preference. ZIP is widely used in neuroscience research to study the role of PKMζ in synaptic plasticity, memory maintenance, cell polarity, and signal transduction.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for ZIP involve measuring its inhibition of PKMζ kinase activity. The assay typically uses purified PKMζ enzyme and a peptide substrate, with kinase activity measured by detecting phosphorylation using radioactive ATP or fluorescence-based methods. IC50 values can be determined from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for ZIP involve treating neuronal cell lines or primary neurons with the peptide and measuring PKMζ activity, synaptic protein phosphorylation, or electrophysiological responses. The peptide's cell permeability allows for direct application to cultured cells.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for ZIP involve administering the peptide to animal models (e.g., via intracranial injection) and evaluating effects on memory, learning, and synaptic plasticity. Behavioral tests such as conditioned place preference or Morris water maze are used to assess the functional consequences of PKMζ inhibition.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly.
