Apexbio Technology LLC Influenza Hemagglutinin (HA) Peptide 92000-76-5 10mM (in 1mL DMSO)

Supplier: Apexbio Technology LLC A60045.1

Influenza hemagglutinin (HA) peptide (sequence YPYDVPDYA) is commonly utilized in biomedical studies as an epitope tag for protein detection and isolation Derived from the influenza virus hemagglutinin protein HA mediates viral entry into host cells through initial receptor binding (via HA1 subunit) and subsequent membrane fusion (via HA2 subunit) Under acidic intracellular conditions HA undergoes conformational changes enabling membrane destabilization and viral fusion Synthetic HA-derived peptides can mimic this fusogenic mechanism enhancing gene transfer efficiency in vitro through promoting cellular uptake of transfection complexes in various cultured cell lines including K562 HeLa and BNL CL 2 hepatocyte cells Typically employed within transferrin-polylysine-DNA based delivery systems these HA peptides facilitate membrane disruption increasing complex internalization reported IC50 values vary depending on specific cellular systems and experimental conditions
