Handling & Stability
Storage. Store dry solid desiccated at -20°C to -80°C, protected from atmospheric moisture and direct light.
Solubility. Highly hydrophilic; freely soluble in sterile laboratory-grade deionized water (≥ 20 mg/mL) and sterile Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS, pH 7.4, ≥ 15 mg/mL) for in vitro assay delivery.
- Aliquoting & Solution Stability: Contains serine and threonine hydroxyl side chains alongside a flexible C-terminal proline-arginine motif; prepare working stock solutions freshly or aliquot into single-use fractions at -20°C to eliminate degradation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Mechanism & Literature
Functions as a potent, selective antagonist of the TREK-1 two-pore domain potassium channel (K2P2.1 / KCNK2) with sub-nanomolar affinity (IC50 ≈ 0.12 nM), demonstrating significantly higher stability and potency than parent Spadin.
Biochemical Origin & Structure-Activity Optimization: Synthetic heptapeptide developed as a shortened, bio-stable derivative of Spadin (PE 12-28), a 17-amino acid peptide derived from the prodomain of sortilin. PE-22-28 represents the minimal functional pharmacophore capable of high-affinity blockade of two-pore domain potassium channels.
Cellular Pathways Investigated: Evaluated across in vitro primary hippocampal neurons, cortical cultures, and TREK-1 transfected cell lines (HEK293, CHO) to measure:

Technical Laboratory FAQs
How does PE-22-28 relate structurally to full-length Spadin (PE 12-28)?
PE-22-28 is a truncated synthetic heptapeptide containing the C-terminal residues 22 to 28 (Ser-Gly-Asp-Thr-Ser-Pro-Arg) of the sortilin propeptide, retaining full TREK-1 blocking activity with improved aqueous stability and resistance to enzymatic degradation.
What is the primary molecular target of PE-22-28 in electrophysiology assays?
PE-22-28 selectively inhibits the two-pore domain potassium channel TREK-1 (K2P2.1 / KCNK2), blocking outward leak potassium currents at sub-nanomolar concentrations in cellular electrophysiology models.
What reconstitution solvent is recommended for preparing in vitro PE-22-28 stocks?
Sterile deionized water or sterile PBS (pH 7.4) provides rapid dissolution at concentrations ≥ 15 mg/mL, creating an isotonic carrier standard for patch-clamp electrophysiology and neuronal cell culture assays.
