Product Information
Discovered in 2008 (see the ref), this peptide is rich in lysines (38%). NA-CATH is predominantly alpha-helical in SDS and TFE (Dean S et al., 2011a). Active against Gram- and Gram+ bacteria (A. actinomycetemcomitans, E. coli, F. novicida, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus) (Amer L et al., 2010;de Latour F et al., 2010; Dean S et al., 2011a;Dean S et al., 2011b) at concentrations < 1 µM). NA-CATH has low toxicity against host cells (de Latour F et al., 2010). It also has anti-biofilm activity against S. aureus (Dean S et al., 2011a). These studies also showed that small 11-aa peptide variants based on a repeated pattern within NA-CATH (KR(F/A)KKFFKK(L/P)K) have similar antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity to the parent peptide, but not when proline is present (de Latour F et al., 2010; van Hoek M, 2014). Updated and written by Monique L. van Hoek 5Jan2015; 2/2015. NA-CATH has Antimicrobial activity. The source of NA-CATH is Naja atra.

| About TFA salt: | Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a strong acid, which is commonly used to cleave synthesized peptides from solid-phase resins and is also used to improve HPLC performance in the peptide purification step. By default, custom peptides are delivered as lyophilized TFA salts, and can contain as much as 10-45% TFA. TFA in custom peptides can cause inexplicable discrepancies in subsequent assay data. For instance, TFA in nM concentrations has been shown to interfere with cellular assays, inhibiting cellular proliferation in some instances, and increasing cell viability in others. It has also been found to be an unintended allosteric modulator of the glycine receptor, GlyR. TFA Removal Service is recommended for: > Peptides that will be used in cellular assays > Peptides that will be used as APIs or in manufactured products > For hydrophilic peptides containing numerous basic residues |
