Pep-1 peptide or PEP1, or PTD (protein transduction domain) is a well-characterized amphipathic cell penetrating peptide that is able to transport proteins and other macromolecules to the cell nucleus. Pep-1 localizes rapidly to the nucleus via an endocytosis-independent process. Pep-1 comprises a hydrophobic, tryptophan-rich domain; a hydrophilic domain derived from the NLS (nuclear localization signal) of large T antigen from SV40, and a spacer between them. Described by Morris et al. 1997.

JPT’s Cell Penetrating Peptides – CPPs
Cell Penetrating Peptides (CPPs) are capable of crossing cellular membranes, facilitating the delivery of various therapeutic and experimental cargoes, such as bioactive molecules, into cells. Their ability to transport molecules that otherwise cannot penetrate cell membranes, such as proteins, peptides, and even large nucleic acids like plasmid DNA or RNA, makes them indispensable for both fundamental research and clinical applications. JPT Peptide Technologies has substantial, long-standing expertise in providing peptides in all formats, scales and modifications to the global scientific community. All our catalog peptides are provided with HPLC-MS analyses to confirm the identity and demonstrate the high quality of our peptides.
