Product Description
KYL peptide is an antagonist peptide that selectively targets EphA4. KYL peptide binds to the ligand-binding domain of EphA4 and effectively alleviates Aβ-induced synaptic dysfunction and synaptic plasticity defects in AD mice. KYL peptide can promote nerve regeneration after injury and regulate immune response.
KYL peptide is a selective and potent EphA4 receptor tyrosine kinase antagonist. It has a Kd value of 0.8 μM for EphA4 and inhibits EphA4-EphrinA5 interactions with an IC50 of 6.34 μM. Its molecular formula is C74H108N14O17, and it has a molecular weight of 1465.75. This peptide is used in neuroscience research for its neuroprotective effects.

Targets
EphA4 4.22 μM μM (IC50) EphA4 1.30 μM (Ki)
KYL peptide targets the EphA4 receptor tyrosine kinase. It binds to the ligand-binding domain of EphA4, antagonizing its interaction with its ligand, EphrinA5. By blocking EphA4 activation, the peptide prevents downstream signaling that can lead to dendritic spine loss, synaptic damage, and impairment of long-term potentiation (LTP), which are key processes in neurodegeneration and cognitive decline.
ln Vitro
The KYL peptide eliminates the Aβ-stimulated EphA4 tyrosine phosphorylation by blocking the extracellular ligand-binding domain of EphA4[2]. In cultured hippocampal neurons, the Aβ-triggered reduction of dendritic spines is eliminated by KYL peptide[2].
In vitro, KYL peptide has been shown to prevent AβO (amyloid-beta oligomer)-induced dendritic spine loss and synaptic damage. It also prevents the blocking of LTP in hippocampal CA3-CA1 transmissions. These activities are typically assessed using neuronal cell cultures and electrophysiological recordings. The peptide's neuroprotective effects are attributed to its ability to inhibit EphA4 signaling.
ln Vivo
In vivo, KYL peptide has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in animal models of neurological disorders. While specific in vivo data is limited, its ability to prevent synaptic damage and LTP impairment suggests potential therapeutic benefits in conditions like Alzheimer's disease. The peptide shows a long half-life in cell culture media, which may translate to favorable pharmacokinetics in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free assays for KYL peptide typically involve measuring its binding affinity to EphA4 using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or radioligand binding assays. The Kd value of 0.8 μM is determined using these techniques. Additionally, competitive binding assays are used to measure the IC50 for inhibition of EphA4-EphrinA5 interactions.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays are conducted to evaluate the functional activity of KYL peptide. Neuronal cultures are treated with the peptide in the presence of AβO. Dendritic spine density and synaptic protein levels are measured to assess protection against AβO-induced damage. Electrophysiological recordings are used to measure LTP in hippocampal slices to evaluate the peptide's ability to prevent LTP impairment.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments typically involve rodent models of Alzheimer's disease or other neurodegenerative conditions. Animals are administered KYL peptide. Cognitive function is assessed using behavioral tests, and markers of synaptic damage and neurodegeneration are measured in brain tissues. These studies provide evidence for the peptide's neuroprotective effects.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of KYL peptide are characteristic of a peptide. Its molecular weight is 1465.75. It is soluble in water (2 mg/mL). It shows a long half-life in cell culture media, suggesting good stability. While detailed in vivo PK parameters are not widely published, its stability supports its use in research applications.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of KYL peptide is not extensively documented. As a peptide, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. In preclinical studies, the peptide has been shown to be well-tolerated at the doses tested, with a safety profile that supports its use in research.
