PE-22-28

PE 22-28 is a shortened seven-amino-acid spadin analogue studied in potassium-channel and behavioral research. It is not interchangeable with full-length spadin or chemically modified derivatives.

What is PE-22-28?

PE 22-28 is a shortened seven-amino-acid spadin analogue studied in potassium-channel and behavioral research. It is not interchangeable with full-length spadin or chemically modified derivatives.

Mechanism & research focus

Patch-clamp experiments demonstrated inhibition of the TREK-1 potassium channel in engineered cells. The research compared sequence variants and terminal modifications, showing that seemingly small changes could alter channel activity.

What the research covers

A 2017 study characterized shortened spadin analogues using electrophysiology and preclinical stability and behavioral experiments. These data connect a defined peptide sequence to channel inhibition and animal-model effects.

What remains uncertain

An antidepressant-like animal behavior is not clinical evidence of treating depression. Human efficacy, pharmacokinetics and long-term safety were not established in the cited study. Exact sequence and chemical modifications matter when comparing the literature with a research vial.

The evidence label describes the linked research, not the suitability of a catalog product for use in people. Formulation, identity, purity, and measured content must be assessed separately.
