PEP1 – 1 mg

Overview

PEP1 is a synthetic peptide designed to mimic the wild-type amphipathic helix (AH), specifically targeting the NS5A protein associated with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) replication. This unique peptide effectively inhibits the membrane association of NS5A, thereby playing a crucial role in limiting the replication of the virus. For researchers looking to explore the mechanisms of HCV inhibition or develop new therapeutic approaches, PEP1 is an invaluable tool.
