  3. KRFK TFA

KRFK TFA, a peptide derived from TSP-1, can activate TGF-β. KRFK TFA promotes TGF-β-mediated signaling and its downstream role, independent of thrombospondin (TSP) receptors such as CD47 and CD36. KRFK TFA can be used for chronic ocular surface inflammatory disorders reseach.

Description

KRFK TFA, a peptide derived from TSP-1, can activate TGF-β. KRFK TFA promotes TGF-β-mediated signaling and its downstream role, independent of thrombospondin (TSP) receptors such as CD47 and CD36. KRFK TFA can be used for chronic ocular surface inflammatory disorders reseach[1].

IC50 & Target

TGF-β[1]

In Vitro

KRFK TFA (50 μM; 24 h) activates the secretion of TGF-β and reduces the expression of DC maturation markers in tsp-1 deficient bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) [1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

KRFK TFA (5 μg/5 μL/eyes; single dose) significantly prevents the development of chronic ocular surface inflammation in TSP-1-/- mice[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
