st-Ht31 is a stearated and cell permeable version of the peptide Ht-31, which inhibits the interaction between the RII subunits of cAMP-dependent PKA and A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP). The sequence of st-Ht31 is derived from human thyroid RII anchoring protein Ht31, comprising residues 493-515, and is the minimum region of Ht 31 required for RII binding. Disruption of the AKAP-PKA interaction by st-Ht31 alters human airway smooth muscle proliferation and enhances contractile force generation with upregulation of the contractile protein α-sm-actin. st-Ht31 also increases cytosolic PKA activity and is able to reverse foam cell formation and restore metabolic health in otherwise dysfunctional macrophages.

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) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.

Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.

Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.

In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
