L17E
Based on 1 Customer Validation
L17E is an attenuated cationic amphiphilic lytic (ACAL) peptide that can be used to deliver a variety of macromolecules, including proteins, antibodies, and DNA nanostructures. L17E inserts and cleaves the membrane structure through electrostatic interaction, enabling intracellular escape. The efficiency of L17E-mediated delivery is strongly correlated with the expression level of KCNN4 (the gene encoding the calcium-activated potassium channel KCa3.1). L17E also promotes the cellular uptake of macromolecules by inducing micropinocytosis. L17E can be further optimized and improved through dimerization strategies and in combination with other delivery systems, such as nuclear localization signal peptides and cell membrane-coated nanoparticles.

Biological Activity
L17E (40-80 μM) suppresses TS5-p45 translocation to the nucleus in HUVECs by disrupting the integrity of the late endosome (LE) membrane[1].
L17E (50-100 μM, 25 h) eliminates the pro-apoptotic activity of TS5-p45 (TS5-p45 must enter the cell nucleus in order to trigger the apoptotic process) in HUVECs[1].
L17E causes approximately 50% of the cells to exhibit strong cytoplasmic signals in Hela cells and its ability to lyse negatively charged membranes is much stronger than that on neutral membranes with no significant pH dependence[2].
L17E (40μM, 1-24 h) exhibits almost 90% cell viability when treated in serum-free medium for one hour or serum-supplemented medium for 24 hours[2][3].
L17E (40 μM, 7 h) efficiently delivers the ribosome inactivating protein (Saporin), resulting in approximately 80% Hela cell death; while without it, the cell death rate is only approximately 15%[2].
L17E (40 μM, 25 h) delivers the Cre recombinase and initiates the expression of EGFP in Hela cells[2].
L17E (40 μM, 1.5 h) delivers anti-His6-IgG to the cytoplasmic side and successfully bound to the intracellular target in Hela cells[2].
L17E (40 μM, 0.5 h) with anti-GR antibody treatment is able to significantly inhibit the upregulation of the MT1E gene induced by Dexamethasone (Dex) (HY-14648G)[2].
L17E (40 μM, 49 h) enhances the efficacy of exosome-mediated intracellular delivery in Hela cells[2].
L17E (20-40 μM, 1 h) enhances the internalization of Dex by inducing macropinocytosis, and achieves cytoplasmic release by specifically lysing the endosomal membrane[2].
L17E coating enables efficient endosomal release of tetrahedral DNA frameworks (TDFs) in RAW264.7 cells[4].
L17E coating substantially enhances the stability of TDFs and improves their uptake efficiency into RAW264.7 cells through endocytosis and macropinocytosis[4].
L17E (12 h)-coated TDF to deliver osteogenic growth peptide (OGF) exerts powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions within the RAW264.7 cells[4].
