Product Description
KLTWQELYQLKYKGI (QK) is a VEGF mimetic peptide that binds to VEGF receptors and competes with VEGF. KLTWQELYQLKYKGI is active in gastric ulcer healing in rodents when administered orally or systemically. KLTWQELYQLKYKGI shows the ability to induce capillary formation and organization in vitro.
KLTWQELYQLKYKGI (QK) is a VEGF-mimicking peptide that binds to VEGF receptors and competes with VEGF. It has been shown to be active in gastric ulcer healing in rodents when administered either orally or systemically. The peptide has also demonstrated the capacity to induce capillary formation and organization in vitro. It is a proangiogenic peptide designed to mimic the biological activity of VEGF.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary targets of KLTWQELYQLKYKGI are VEGF receptors (VEGFRs). By binding to these receptors, it competes with VEGF, a key regulator of angiogenesis. This interaction leads to the activation of downstream signaling pathways that promote angiogenesis, endothelial cell proliferation, and migration. The peptide's ability to mimic VEGF makes it a valuable tool for studying angiogenesis and wound healing.
ln Vitro
In vitro, KLTWQELYQLKYKGI has demonstrated the capacity to induce capillary formation and organization. It binds to VEGF receptors and competes with VEGF for receptor binding. This activity promotes endothelial cell proliferation and migration, leading to the formation of new blood vessels. These in vitro studies confirm its proangiogenic activity.
ln Vivo
In vivo, KLTWQELYQLKYKGI is active in gastric ulcer healing in rodents when administered either orally or systemically. Its proangiogenic activity promotes the formation of new blood vessels, which is essential for tissue repair and wound healing. These in vivo studies provide evidence for its therapeutic potential in conditions such as gastric ulcers and other wounds.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free assays for KLTWQELYQLKYKGI typically involve measuring its binding affinity to VEGF receptors using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or ELISA. These assays are used to characterize the peptide's potency and specificity. Competitive binding assays are used to confirm that the peptide competes with VEGF for receptor binding.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays are conducted to evaluate the functional activity of KLTWQELYQLKYKGI. Endothelial cells are treated with the peptide, and cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation are measured to assess its proangiogenic activity. These assays confirm that the peptide effectively promotes angiogenesis.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments typically involve rodent models of gastric ulcers or other wounds. Animals are administered the peptide via oral gavage or systemic injection. Wound healing is monitored over time to assess efficacy. These studies provide evidence for the peptide's therapeutic potential in wound healing.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of KLTWQELYQLKYKGI are characteristic of a peptide. It has a molecular weight of 1700.9 and is composed of 15 amino acids. The peptide is designed to be stable and bioavailable, with activity observed after both oral and systemic administration. Its stability and solubility are typical of small peptides.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of KLTWQELYQLKYKGI is not extensively documented, but it is likely to be similar to other proangiogenic agents. As a VEGF-mimicking peptide, it may have the potential to promote pathological angiogenesis if not properly regulated. Preclinical toxicology studies would typically involve acute and chronic dosing in animal models to assess safety margins.
