Scientific Background | FGQLLLKIARLICETVWEKTKELAE is a 25-residue synthetic peptide with the sequence Phe-Gly-Gln-Leu-Leu-Leu-Lys-Ile-Ala-Arg-Leu-Ile-Cys-Glu-Thr-Val-Trp-Glu-Lys-Thr-Lys-Glu-Leu-Ala-Glu. The sequence contains 1 cysteine residue, which can support thiol-selective conjugation or disulfide chemistry when the thiol is available; is enriched in basic residues (3 Lys and 1 Arg), contributing cationic character under many aqueous conditions; contains a relatively high fraction of hydrophobic residues, which can influence solubility and nonspecific adsorption. No specific receptor, enzyme, pathway, disease association, or biological activity is assigned without product-specific experimental evidence. |
Experimental Notes | Sequence-derived chemical properties are provided to support reagent selection and experimental planning. They do not establish a biological function. Solubility, aggregation, adsorption, conjugation efficiency, and assay performance should be validated under the intended experimental conditions. |
