Description | Myristoyl-Lys-Arg-Thr-Leu-Arg-OH also called N-m-KRTLR, is a myristylated pentapeptide. It is an effective inhibitor of the protein kinase C (PKC)-catalyzed histone phosphorylation (inhibitory constant, IC50 = 75 µM). It competes with the phosphoacceptor substrate of PKC and interacts with the phospholipid cofactor of the enzyme. Myristoyl-Lys-Arg-Thr-Leu-Arg-OH inhibits IL-2 receptor induction and IL-2 production in the human leukemic cell line Jurkat. |
