GALA-Cys
Based on 1 Customer Validation
GALA-Cys is a chemically modified GALA peptide (HY-P5423) that retains GALA functions while acquiring strong covalent conjugation capability. GALA-Cys undergoes pH-driven reversible secondary structure transition, rearranges into an amphipathic α-helix, self-oligomerizes, penetrates lipid membranes to form pores, and disrupts lipid bilayers, thereby enabling endosomal escape and cytosolic cargo delivery. GALA-Cys can be conjugated with lipid DPTE for integration into liposomes, self-assembles into a tilted monolayer on gold surfaces, and serves as a pH-responsive coating for particle surface functionalization. GALA-Cys is applicable to studies related to targeted cargo delivery.

Biological Activity
GALA-Cys is covalently linked to the thiol-containing phospholipid DPTE via pyridyl disulfide click chemistry to form the lipopeptide DPTE-GALA. Similar to conventional phospholipids, this lipopeptide can be quantitatively and controllably incorporated into lipid bilayers during liposome preparation[1].
GALA-Cys can utilize the terminal cysteine thiol group to form a stable Au-S covalent bond directly with the gold surface, thereby forming a self-assembled monolayer on the gold substrate[2].
