Cardiac Targeting Peptide CTP - Other Categories

The pathology of coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemia are linked to the health of endothelial cells in the heart.- However, providing molecular therapies specifically into myocardium remains elusive. The cardiac targeting peptide (CTP) was shown to specifically transduce cardiomyocytes as it is a cationic PTD. This peptide can be used as a conjugate to deliver molecules specifically to the heart. This can be a crucial tool for research into therapeutic drug delivery for ischemic attacks and infarctions. This peptide is research quality and therefore for research purposes only, and not for use in a therapeutic setting.
