Gap26M TFA
Gap26M TFA is a Connexin 43 (Cx43) mimetic peptide. Gap26M TFA blocks gap junction intercellular communication in a connexin-nonspecific, non-selective manner. Gap26M TFA exhibits differential effects on gap junction function between static cells and migrating cells. Gap26M TFA promotes cell migration toward the wound edge and enhances wound closure.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Gap26M (10-100 μM) TFA reduces gap-junction dye transfer in primary skin fibroblasts, with activity at 50 μM[2].
Gap26M (100 μM; peptide replaced every 12 h) TFA increases wound-closure rates in primary keratinocytes and fibroblasts[2].
