TAT-DEF-Elk-1 TFA (TDE TFA) is a cell-penetrating peptide inhibitor of Elk-1, mimics and specifically interferes with the DEF domain of Elk-1. TAT-DEF-Elk-1 TFA blocks Elk-1 phosphorylation and prevents Elk-1 nuclear translocation without interfering with ERK nor MSK1 activation. TAT-DEF-Elk-1 TFA is a useful tool to analyze the role of Elk-1 in this process during the development of neuronal plasticity.

体外研究(In Vitro)
Elk-1 phosphorylation on Ser383/389 has a dual function and triggers both Elk-1 nuclear translocation and SRE-dependent gene expression.TAT-DEF-Elk-1 TFA (5 μM; 1 hour) specifically inhibits glutamate-induced elk-1 activation and does not interfer with ERK, MSK-1, or CREB phosphorylation.TAT-DEF-Elk-1 TFA (5-10 μM; 2 hour) treatment shows a significant inhibition of c-Fos, Zif268 and JunB, but has no effects on c-Jun expression. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
体内研究(In Vivo)
TAT-DEF-Elk-1 TFA (intraperitoneal injection; 1mg/kg; daily; 14 days) reflects antidepressant efficacy in mice, it decreases immobility similar to the reference antidepressants fluoxetine and desipramine (DMI). has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
