FOXO4 (forkhead box O4)

Detailed Product Information

FOXO4-DRI is a synthetic peptide, which is a sequence of amino acids synthesized in a laboratory, intended to imitate and interfere with natural biological functions. The term "FOXO4" pertains to Forkhead box protein O4, which is a member of the FOXO protein family. This family of proteins serves as transcription factors and is involved in various cellular processes, including metabolism, cell growth, proliferation, stress response, and programmed cell death. The acronym "DRI" signifies "D-Retro-Inverso," a modification that reverses the arrangement of D-amino acids, thereby improving the peptide's stability and its ability to penetrate cells. This design enables FOXO4-DRI to disrupt specific interactions associated with the natural FOXO4 protein, rather than merely inhibiting its function.
