PR-39 TFA

PR-39 TFA, a natural peptide rich in proline and arginine with antibacterial properties, acts as a noncompetitive, reversible, and allosteric inhibitor of the proteasome. It specifically attaches to the α7 subunit of the proteasome, preventing the degradation of the NF-κB inhibitor IκBα through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Additionally, PR-39 TFA promotes angiogenesis, suppresses inflammatory responses, and notably decreases myocardial infarct size in mice.
