Testagen 10mg
Synthetic Tetrapeptide Bioregulator | Laboratory Use Only
Testagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly, written KEDG) from the Khavinson family of short-peptide bioregulators, developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Its sequence differs by a single residue from related peptides such as Livagen and Epitalon, which makes it a useful model compound for studying sequence-specific peptide-nucleic acid interaction, peptide transport, and gene expression regulation in cell-based systems.
