TP508
TP508 is a 23-amino acid nonproteolytic thrombin peptide that represents a portion of the receptor-binding domain of thrombin molecule. TP508 activates endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) and stimulates production of NO in human endothelial cells. TP508 activates endothelial cells and stem cells to revascularize and regenerate tissues.

Biological Activity
|
eNOS |
TP508 (50 μg/mL; 24 hours; HCAEC) treatment reverses radiation-induced endothelial dysfunction (ED) and loss of NO signaling by attenuating the downregulation of eNOS expression. TP508 treatment is able to stimulate NO production in the irradiated cells[1].
TP508 mitigates effects of nuclear radiation on human endothelial cells in culture restoring endothelial NO production, tube formation and accelerating repair of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSB)[1].
TP508 acts as an antagonist for the effects of thrombin. TP508 peptide inhibits these thrombin-induced effects through a RGD and αvβ3-related mechanism[3].

Solvent & Solubility
H2O
Peptide Solubility and Storage Guidelines:
1. Calculate the length of the peptide.
2. Calculate the overall charge of the entire peptide according to the following table:
| Contents | Assign value | |
| Acidic amino acid | Asp (D), Glu (E), and the C-terminal -COOH. | -1 |
| Basic amino acid | Arg (R), Lys (K), His (H), and the N-terminal -NH2 | +1 |
| Neutral amino acid | Gly (G), Ala (A), Leu (L), Ile (I), Val (V), Cys (C), Met (M), Thr (T), Ser (S), Phe (F), Tyr (Y), Trp (W), Pro (P), Asn (N), Gln (Q) | 0 |
3. Recommended solution:
| Overall charge of peptide | Details |
| Negative (<0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, add NH4OH (<50 μL). 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide. |
| Positive (>0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution. 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO. |
| Zero (=0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first. 2. For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration. |
