FOXO4-DRI

FOXO4-DRI is a peptide designed to disrupt the interaction of FOXO4 with p53, which in senescent cells causes p53 nuclear exclusion and cell-intrinsic apoptosis.

Summary

FOXO4-DRI is a peptide designed to disrupt the interaction of FOXO4 with p53, which in senescent cells causes p53 nuclear exclusion and cell-intrinsic apoptosis. · pmid:28340339

Mechanism

NMR structures show the disordered peptide binding the disordered p53 transactivation domain 2 as a transiently folded complex, with both its FOXO4-derived region and its cell-permeability segment contributing. · pmid:40593617

History

In mice it neutralized doxorubicin-induced chemotoxicity and restored fitness, fur density and renal function in both fast-ageing and naturally aged animals. · pmid:28340339

Identity

PubChem CID 167312269: Foxo4-dri, C228H388N86O64, 5358 g/mol. · pubchem:167312269

Structure

No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for FOXO4-DRI yet.


Dose evidence, rung by rung

No established safe human dose. Nothing on file establishes one. That is a statement about the evidence PepJunkie holds, not a promise about the molecule.
