Tat-NR2BAA TFA is the control peptide of Tat-NR2B9c and has no activity. The sequence of Tat-NR2BAA TFA is similar to Tat-NR2B9c but has a double point mutation in the COOH-terminal tSXV motif, which renders it unable to bind PSD-95. Tat-NR2B9c TFA is a cell membrane permeable (penetrable) peptide that disrupts PSD-95/NMDAR binding.

Biological Activity

Targets	NMDA Receptor
ln Vitro	PSD-95 and NR2B subunit interactions are not affected by Tat-NR2BAA TFA (125 ng; 20 mins). On the other hand, rats pretreated with the disruptive peptide Tat-NR2B9c in lumbar dorsal horn tissue exhibit a significant decrease in PSD-95 coimmunoprecipitation with NR2B subunits[1]. The control group for Tat-NR2B9c is Tat-NR2BAA TFA (125 ng or 1.25 μg; 20 minutes before collection of lumbar dorsal horn tissue). Tat-NR2B9c causes a strong and noticeable post-discharge decrease, which suggests that the cell is hyperexcitable.However, even at a dose 100× higher than the active peptide Tat-NR2B9c(HY-P0117)[1], Tat-NR2BAA TFA has no impact. In the Co-IP test, the control group is Tat-NR2BAA TFA(1 μM; pre-treatment 1 hour). In hippocampal neurons, the coupling of NR2B to PSD-95 is more vulnerable to disruption than NR2A/PSD95, and Tat-NR2B9c(1 μM) impairs the NR2B/PSD95 interaction[2].

Solubility Data

Solubility (In Vitro)

May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples

Solubility (In Vivo)

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80： Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 ：Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals). Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] *Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C，1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
