PNC-27 5mg

$150.00

PNC-27 is a research peptide composed of a p53–MDM2 binding domain linked to a membrane-targeting sequence (residues 12–26 of the p53 protein). It has been shown in preclinical studies to interact with cancer cell membranes through HDM-2–associated mechanisms, leading to selective pore formation and membrane destabilization. PNC-27 is utilized in experimental oncology research to investigate peptide–membrane interactions, apoptotic signaling, and tumor-selective cytolytic activity in vitro.

For research use only. Not for human consumption.

Overview

PNC-27 is a synthetic peptide supplied exclusively for laboratory research use. In published preclinical literature, PNC-27 is used as a mechanistic probe in experimental systems evaluating peptide–protein binding behavior and membrane-associated localization phenomena involving HDM-2/MDM2-related targets under controlled conditions.

This material is provided for in-vitro and other non-clinical experimental applications only. No statements regarding safety, efficacy, or outcomes are made or implied.

Biochemical Characteristics

PNC-27 is described in the research literature as incorporating an HDM-2/MDM2-binding motif corresponding to residues 12–26 of p53, coupled to a membrane-interacting domain. Experimental work typically evaluates binding, localization, and membrane interaction using biochemical and cell-based assay formats.

Molecular formula: C188H293N53O44S
Molar Mass: 4031.7

Research Applications

PNC-27 is used in preclinical research settings as a tool compound for investigations such as:

  • Peptide–protein binding studies involving HDM-2/MDM2-associated interaction motifs
  • Assessment of peptide localization to membrane compartments in engineered or model systems
  • Structure–function exploration of p53-derived binding regions in controlled experimental formats
  • Method development for membrane interaction assays (e.g., microscopy-based localization, biochemical fractionation)

Observations are specific to the experimental systems used (e.g., in-vitro cell models, isolated membranes, or preclinical model designs) and should be interpreted only within the scope of those systems.

Pathway / Mechanistic Context

Mechanistic discussions of PNC-27 in the scientific literature commonly center on its ability to associate with HDM-2/MDM2-related targets and its behavior in membrane-associated contexts. Experimental endpoints may include binding readouts, localization signals, and membrane interaction signatures measured by established laboratory assays.

This section is provided as biochemical context for researchers and does not imply therapeutic intent, clinical translation, or biological outcome claims.

Preclinical Research Summary

In preclinical publications, PNC-27 has been used in experimental oncology research models to study the relationship between MDM2/HDM2 membrane-associated localization and peptide interaction behavior. Reported experiments include in-vitro and other non-clinical models designed to characterize mechanistic features (e.g., binding dependence and cellular localization patterns).
