ChMAP-28 was predicted bioinformatically based on the sequence data of the precursor protein MAP-28 (GenBank AJ243126.1). The ChMAP-28 amino acid sequence was translated from mRNA for the corresponding precursor protein as a 27-residue peptide without the C-terminal glycine, a common amidation signal in cathelicidins. It has molecular mass of 3365 Da and the amino acid sequence GRFKRFRKKLKRLWHKVGPFVGPILHY including eleven basic residues. The goat peptide is highly homologous to the bovine α-helical cathelicidin BMAP-27. ChMAP-28 was found to be toxic toward tumor cells at concentrations of <10 μM, significantly less toxic toward normal cells and low hemolytic. The cytotoxic effect of ChMAP-28 is revealed in 15 min and does not increase during following incubation. Its cell death promoting mechanism was not associated with the caspase-dependent apoptosis, but was rather related to necrosis due to pore formation in the susceptible cell membranes.

Normally, this peptide will be delivered in lyophilized form and should be stored in a freezer at or below -20 °C. For more details, please refer to the manual:Handling and Storage of Synthetic Peptides

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) has a significant impact on peptides due to its role in the peptide synthesis process.

TFA is essential for the protonation of peptides that lack basic amino acids such as Arginine (Arg), Histidine (His), and Lysine (Lys), or ones that have blocked N-termini. As a result, peptides often contain TFA salts in the final product.

TFA residues, when present in custom peptides, can cause unpredictable fluctuations in experimental data. At a nanomolar (nM) level, TFA can influence cell experiments, hindering cell growth at low concentrations (as low as 10 nM) and promoting it at higher doses (0.5–7.0 mM). It can also serve as an allosteric regulator on the GlyR of glycine receptors, thereby increasing receptor activity at lower glycine concentrations.

In an in vivo setting, TFA can trifluoroacetylate amino groups in proteins and phospholipids, inducing potentially unwanted antibody responses. Moreover, TFA can impact structure studies as it affects spectrum absorption.
