PRO20 is a 20-amino-acid peptide antagonist of the (pro)renin receptor (PRR). Its sequence corresponds to the first 20 amino acids of the (pro)renin prosegment. This peptide exhibits high specificity for both human and mouse PRR, functioning by competitively inhibiting the binding of (pro)renin to its receptor. In experimental models, subcutaneous administration of PRO20 has been shown to modulate hepatic lipid metabolism. Mechanistically, treatment with PRO20 is associated with the attenuation of diet-induced increases in the expression of key lipid synthesis regulators in the liver, including the transcription factor PPARγ and the enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 3 (GPAT3). These molecular effects correlate with a reduction in hepatic triglyceride accumulation and lipid droplet formation.
Normally, this peptide will be delivered in lyophilized form and should be stored in a freezer at or below -20 °C. For more details, please refer to the manual: Handling and Storage of Synthetic Peptides
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
