Disitertide
Names
Biological Activity
[Description]:
Disitertide is an inhibitor of TGF-β1. Sequence: Thr-Ser-Leu-Asp-Ala-Ser-Ile-Ile-Trp-Ala-Met-Met-Gln-Asn.
[Related Catalog]:
[In Vitro]
Disitertide (P144) prevents TGF-β1-dependent inhibition of MV1Lu proliferation in vitro and markedly reduces binding of TGF-β1 to its receptors. Disitertide blocks TGF-β1-dependent stimulation of a reporter gene under the control of human α2(I) collagen promoter[1].
[In Vivo]
Treatment with Disitertide at low doses causes a significant inhibition of HSC activation and a marked reduction in liver fibrosis in a rat model of chronic exposure to CCl4. A dose as low as 70 μg of the 15-mer peptide Disitertide, given to rats (300 g body weight) on alternate days, decreases fibrogenesis significantly during chronic exposure to CCl4[1].
