Description
Azido-PEG4-Val-Cit-PAB-OH is a unique peptide linker designed for cleavable conjugation applications. The Val-Cit sequence is specifically cleaved by the enzyme Cathepsin B, allowing for controlled release of the linked molecules. The azido group incorporated into the linker enables facile conjugation via- click chemistry with DBCO, BCN, or other alkyne-functionalized molecules.
Applications
Azido-PEG4-Val-Cit-PAB-OH in drug delivery systems, targeted therapy, and biomolecule labeling where controlled release of payloads is desired. By exploiting the enzymatic activity of Cathepsin B, the linked cargo can be selectively released within the target cells or tissues, enhancing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing off-target effects.
