Spike protein (S2) SARS-CoV-2 substrate – 0.1 mg

Overview

The Spike protein (S2) SARS-CoV-2 substrate is an essential peptide for anyone exploring the mechanisms of viral entry into host cells. This peptide corresponds to the second furin-like cleavage site of the Spike (S) protein, a critical component in understanding SARS-CoV-2’s interaction with human cells. The specific sequence at the S2 site (KR↓SF) includes two basic residues (P1 and P2) followed by a hydrophobic P3 residue. Remarkably, this sequence is identical in both SARS-CoV-2 and its predecessor, SARS-CoV. For enhanced visibility in your experiments, this peptide is labeled with QXL®520 and 5-FAM, making it a versatile tool in your research arsenal.
