pH-Low Insertion Peptide TFA
Based on 1 Customer Validation
pH-Low Insertion Peptide TFA (pHLIP TFA) is a short, pH-responsive peptide capable of inserting across a cell membrane to form a transmembrane helix at acidic pH. pH-Low Insertion Peptide TFA targets the acidic tumor microenvironment for tumors at early and metastatic stages with high specificity, used as a specific ligand. pH-Low Insertion Peptide TFA successfully modifys polylysine polymers to have the pH-responsive capability. pH-Low Insertion Peptide TFA -based targeting of cancer presents an opportunity to monitor metabolic changes and to selectively deliver imaging and therapeutic agents to tumors.

Biological Activity
pH-Low Insertion Peptide TFA (5 μM, 2 h) combined with peptide nucleic acid (peptide nucleic acid, PNA) significantly increases PNA delivery at pH 6.2 in A549 cells[3].

Result:Significantly increases PNA delivery combined with PNA at pH 6.2 in A549 cells.
pH-Low Insertion Peptide TFA (10 μM, i.v., a single dose for 24 h) can clearly differentiate between regions of primarily tumor cells and nonmalignant stromal tissues, also accumulates the hypoxia marker Pimonidazole (HY-105129A) and relates to the production of acidic glucose metabolites in MMTV-Py MT mice[2].
pH-Low Insertion Peptide TFA (0.2 μmol/kg, i.v., a single dose for 24 h) demonstrats excellent tumor targeting combined with PNA in mice seeded melanoma tumors[3].
