WLSEAGPVVTVRALRGTGSW TFA
WLSEAGPVVTVRALRGTGSW TFA is a cardiomyocyte-targeting peptide that specifically recognizes tenascin X on the surface of cardiomyocytes. WLSEAGPVVTVRALRGTGSW TFA can serve as a targeting ligand to conjugate with various therapeutic carriers (drugs, genes, exosomes, nanoparticles, etc.) for research on cardiovascular diseases (such as myocardial infarction, heart failure).

Biological Activity
WLSEAGPVVTVRALRGTGSW TFA enhances the internalization of exosomes by cardiomyocytes and promotes the targeted delivery of miR302 after conjugation with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes[1].
WLSEAGPVVTVRALRGTGSW TFA mediates the preferential localization of phages displaying this peptide in mouse heart tissues, including uptake by cardiomyocytes in vivo, and blocks the uptake of phages displaying its own sequence by primary cardiomyocytes[2].

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. |
