Tat-ASIC1a (1-20) is a synthetic peptide composed of the cell-penetrating peptide sequence from the HIV-1 Tat protein transduction domain linked to a 20-amino acid peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-20 of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a).1 It prevents acid-induced association of ASIC1a with receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinase 1 (RIPK1) and necroptosis in primary mouse cortical neurons when used at a concentration of 10 µM. Tat-ASIC1a (1-20) decreases infarct volume in a mouse model of ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
