Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Pep2-8 is a peptide inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 which reverses PCSK9-induced decreases in surface LDL receptor levels and restores uptake of LDL in HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Pep2-8 administration significantly downregulates expression of NOX4, MAPK subunits, NF-kappaB, and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, all known to promote vascular aging.
