Bioactivity | [Nle20] H4 peptide (16−23) is a peptide with strong inhibitory activity against histone methyltransferase SETD8 (Kd=0.14 μM), which inhibits SETD8's methylation of histone H4 by competing with SETD8's substrate binding site. [Nle20] H4 peptide (16−23) can be used as a lead compound for anticancer therapy[1]. |
