Product Description: TAX2 peptide is a dodecapeptide based on molecular docking and simulation design, derived from the cell surface receptor CD47 sequence. TAX2 peptide acts as a selective antagonist of TSP-1 (thromboxin-1) interacting with CD47. TAX2 peptide can promote the binding of TSP-1 to CD36, which leads to the destruction of VEGFR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2) activation, thereby blocking downstream NO (nitric oxide) signaling, demonstrating anti-angiogenic properties. TAX2 peptide can be used to study angiogenesis and tumor cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment[1].
