Description: Activator of protein kinase C, attached to cell permeabilization Antennapedia domain vector peptide. Consists of peptide derived from the C2 domain of PKC beta linked by a disulfide bridge to the Antennapedia domain vector peptide. The Antennapedia peptide is actively taken up by intact cells, at 4 or 37°C, ensuring rapid and effective uptake of the activator peptide. Once inside the cell, the disulfide bonds are subjected to reduction in the cytoplasm leading to release of the activator peptide.
