In Vitro

TAT (YGRKKRRQRRR) represents amino acids 47-57 of the human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) TAT protein. The positively charged protein transduction domain of the HIV-1 TAT protein (TAT-PTD; residues 47-57 of TAT) rapidly translocates across the plasma membrane of living cells. TAT (YGRKKRRQRRR; TAT-PTD) can cross the hydrophobic lipid bilayer of a cell membrane simply by passive diffusion[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
