Carrier peptide and method for delivery of molecules into cells

摘要

Disclosed is a carrier peptide and a conjugate comprising a carrier peptide and a target molecule and a method for delivery of the target molecule into a cell. The carrier peptide contains from 10-15 amino acids, having a core sequence of 3-5 hydrophobic amino acids flanked by flanking amino acid sequences. The core sequence comprises residues selected from proline and leucine such that there is at least one each of proline and leucine and is symmetrical about an amino acid or a bond. Also disclosed is a method for delivery of a target molecule into a cell and a method for measuring a cellular process.
