pep2-AVKI

Description: pep2-AVKI is an inhibitor peptide that selectively disrupts binding of the AMPA receptor subunit GluA2 (at the C-terminal PDZ site) to protein interacting with C kinase (PICK1). Does not affect binding of GluA2 to GRIP or ABP and does not increase AMPA current amplitude or affect long term depression (LTD). References: Daw et al (2000) PDZ proteins interacting with C-terminal GluR2/3 are involved in a PKC-dependent regulation of AMPA receptors at hippocampal synapses. Neuron 28 873 PMID: 11163273
