Sequence DDSVVAAMSYSFA
Sequence Length 13
UniProt ID P26662
Source Synthetic construct(derived from Hepatitis C virus(HCV) polyprotein)
Activity Information
Target Organism HCV
Assay NS3-6K inhibition assay(determined by Fluorescent probe)
Activity
Hemolytic Activity No hemolysis information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry
Cytotoxicity No cytotoxicity information found in the reference(s) presented
Binding Target NS3 protease
Mechanism HCV NS3 protease is essential for the processing of HCV polyprotein, this protease is a target of choice to control HCV replication. The peptide was demonstrated that can indeed block the activity of NS3 and thus inhibit HCV replication
