Description:
Wbox2 is a membrane-permeant peptide that potently inhibits clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME, IC50=3 uM), binds to SNX9 and AP2 and perturbs clathrin interactions with AP2 and SNX9.Wbox2 has no effect on cell viability at ≤30 uM and exhibited an IC50 for cytotoxicity (>40 uM) that is 10-fold higher than that needed to inhibit CME.Wbox2 interferes with AP2–clathrin interactions and alters CCP dynamics, binds to both AP2 and SNX9 with binding affinities of 4.0 and 26.2 uM.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one
month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at
least 1 hour.
