Scientific Background | FITC-Ahx-MGINGFKFLSDIHHFCS is a 17-residue synthetic peptide with the sequence Met-Gly-Ile-Asn-Gly-Phe-Lys-Phe-Leu-Ser-Asp-Ile-His-His-Phe-Cys-Ser. FITC provides a fluorescent label for optical detection; an Ahx spacer separates the peptide from an attached label or affinity handle. The sequence contains 1 cysteine residue, providing potential thiol/disulfide chemistry when the thiol is available; contains 3 aromatic residues that can contribute to hydrophobic or aromatic interactions. These sequence-derived properties describe the reagent chemically; no specific receptor, enzyme, pathway, disease association, or biological activity is assigned without product-specific experimental evidence. |
Experimental Notes | Sequence-derived chemical properties support reagent selection and experimental planning but do not establish biological function. Solubility, aggregation, adsorption, conjugation efficiency, and assay performance should be validated under the intended experimental conditions. |
