Tat-NR2B9c (NA-1) is a postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) inhibitor with neuroprotective and antiepileptic effects.Tat-NR2B9c inhibits PSD-95d2, PSD-95d1, and PSD-95, which prevents the activation of NMDA-induced NADPH oxidase in neurons, thereby blocking the production of superoxide, which reduces ischemic injury in the acute phase after stroke.

Tat-NR2B9c TFA is a 20-aa peptide, and acts as an inhibitor of postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95)(EC50 of 6.7 nM for PSD-95d2), and possesses neuroprotective efficacy.

Tat-NR2B9c acetate (NA-1 acetate) is a postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) inhibitor, with EC50 values of 6.7 nM and 670 nM for PSD-95d2 (PSD-95 PDZ domain 2) and PSD-95d1, respectively. Tat-NR2B9c acetate disrupts the PSD-95/NMDAR interaction, inhibiting NR2A and NR2B binding to PSD-95 with IC50 values of 0.5 μM and 8 μM, respectively. Tat-NR2B9c acetate also inhibits neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)/PSD-95 interaction, and possesses neuroprotective efficacy.

Tat-NR2BAA is an inactive control peptide of Tat-NR2B9c. It shares a similar sequence with Tat-NR2B9c, but possesses a double-point mutation in the COOH terminal tSXV motif. This mutation renders Tat-NR2BAA unable to bind PSD-95. Tat-NR2B9c, on the other hand, is a membrane-permeable peptide that interferes with PSD-95/NMDAR binding. This interference leads to the decoupling of NR2B- and/or NR2A-type NMDARs from PSD-95[1][2].

Biotin-TAT (47-57) is a biotin-tagged transactivator of transcription, commonly employed as a protein transduction domain (PTD) in various primary cells. Its transduction capacity is contingent on ATP and temperature, suggesting the participation of endocytosis.

Tat-beclin 1, a peptide derived from the autophagy protein beclin 1, is a powerful inducer of autophagy. It interacts with GAPR-1 (GLIPR2), a negative regulator of autophagy. Tat-beclin 1 effectively reduces polyglutamine expansion protein aggregates and inhibits various pathogens, such as HIV-1, in laboratory experiments. Additionally, it decreases mortality in mice infected with chikungunya (CHIKV) or West Nile virus (WNV).

Tat-beclin 1 acetate is a potent inducer of autophagy and interacts with the negative regulator of autophagy, GAPR-1. Tat-beclin 1 acetate decreases the accumulation of polyglutamine expansion protein aggregates and the replication of several pathogens (including HIV-1).

(Cys47)-HIV-1 tat Protein (47-57) possesses membrane translocation functionality and can serve as a surface derivatization agent for magnetic pharmaceuticals, enhancing their uptake into specific target cells.

TAT peptide (TFA), a cell-penetrating peptide (GRKKRRQRRRPQ) originating from HIV-1's trans-activating transcriptional activator (Tat), facilitates intracellular delivery [1] [2].

TAT-Gap19 TFA, a Cx mimetic peptide and specific connexin43 hemichannel (Cx43 HC) inhibitor, does not inhibit corresponding Cx43 gap junction channels (GJCs). It crosses the blood-brain barrier and has shown efficacy in alleviating liver fibrosis in mice [1] [2] [3].

TAT-14 TFA is a 14-mer peptide functioning as an Nrf2 activator possessing anti-inflammatory properties. It does not alter Nrf2 mRNA expression but elevates Nrf2 protein levels by targeting the Nrf2 binding site on Keap1 [1].

TAT-cyclo-CLLFVY TFA is a cyclic peptide inhibitor targeting HIF-1 heterodimerization to mitigate hypoxia signaling within cancer cells. It effectively disrupts the protein-protein interaction between HIF-1α and HIF-1β, with an inhibitory concentration (IC 50) of 1.3 μM [1].

HIV-1 TAT (48-60), a cell-penetrating peptide originating from residues 48-60 of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 Tat protein, facilitates the non-disruptive delivery of exogenous macromolecules into cells.

HIV-1 TAT (48-60) Acetate, a commonly used membrane-permeable carrier peptide, is an arginine-rich basic peptide derived from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 Tat) protein that enables intracellular delivery of compounds.

TAT (48-57) (TFA) is a cell-penetrating peptide obtained from residues 48-57 of the HIV-1 Tat (transactivator of transcription) protein.

Tat-beclin 1 TFA, a peptide derived from a segment of the autophagy protein beclin 1, effectively induces autophagy and interacts with the autophagy negative regulator GAPR-1 (GLIPR2). It reduces the accumulation of polyglutamine expansion protein aggregates and limits the in vitro replication of various pathogens, including HIV-1. Additionally, Tat-beclin 1 TFA has been shown to decrease mortality rates in mice infected with chikungunya (CHIKV) or West Nile virus (WNV) [1].

Tat-NR2BAA TFA serves as the inactive control peptide for Tat-NR2B9c, featuring a comparable sequence with a crucial distinction: a double-point mutation in its COOH-terminal tSXV motif. This alteration renders Tat-NR2BAA TFA unable to bind to PSD-95, in contrast to Tat-NR2B9c. The latter is a membrane-permeant peptide that impedes PSD-95/NMDAR interaction, specifically detaching NR2B- and/or NR2A-type NMDARs from PSD-95 [1].

Cys(Npys)-TAT (47-57), a peptide fragment corresponding to the transduction domain of the TAT peptide, contains an activated cysteine residue C and can electrostatically interact with plasmid DNA. Notably, TAT is a small nuclear transcriptional activator protein encoded by HIV-1 [1].

TAT-HA2 Fusion Peptide, a peptide-based delivery agent, synergizes the pH-sensitive HA2 fusion peptide from Influenza with the cell-penetrating peptide TAT from HIV. This compound facilitates the cellular uptake of macromolecules through the TAT component and triggers their release into cells by exploiting the acidifying endosomal lumen to induce membrane leakage via the HA2 component [1].
