Bioactivity | LinTT1 peptide is a tumor-penetrating peptide with the amino acid sequence AKRGARST. LinTT1 peptide targets peritoneal carcinoma (PC) by binding to the p32 (gC1qR) receptor. It can conjugate with iron oxide nanoworms (NWs) to form a nanocarrier. This nanocarrier is taken up by peritoneal carcinoma cells in vitro and enters the mitochondria; it also exhibits significant tumor targeting and penetration effects in mice. Moreover, LinTT1-functionalized nanocarriers, combined with the pro-apoptotic peptide [D(KLAKLAK)2], show significant tumor suppression in a mouse peritoneal tumor model. LinTT1 peptide holds promise as a delivery carrier for peritoneal cancer research[1]. |
