Tat-Beclin-1 – 1 mg

Overview

Tat-Beclin-1 is an essential peptide derived from the HIV-1 Nef binding portion of the full-length human Beclin-1 protein, consisting of amino acids 267-299. This peptide plays a crucial role in autophagy, acting as an agent that can trigger cellular adaptation, survival, or even cell death. When combined with a cell-permeable peptide, Tat-Beclin-1 effectively penetrates cell membranes to promote autophagy within cells, making it a powerful tool for researchers focused on cellular processes. If you’re working on autophagy studies or related research, you can find additional resources among our selection of peptides.
