Pep2m, myristoylated (Myr-Pep2m) is a cell-permeable peptide. Pep2m, myristoylated can disrupt the protein kinase ζ (PKMζ) downstream targets, N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor/glutamate receptor subunit 2 (NSF/GluR2) interactions. PKMζ is an autonomously active isozyme of protein kinase C (PKC)[1][2]. | [in vivo]
Pep2m, myristoylated (10 μg/20 μL) results in an increase in paw withdrawal thresholds (PWTs) on nociceptive responses in the formalin test[2].
| Animal Model: | Female and male Long-Evans hooded rats (8 weeks)[2] | | Dosage: | 10 μg (in 20 μL) | | Administration: | Intrathecal injection | | Result: | Resulted in an increase in PWTs, in both male and female rats at various time points tested. |
