Description
TAT-Apoptin is a fusion protein made up of the transduction domain of HIV-1 and apoptin. Since apoptin only functions inside the cells, the peptide TAT is added to direct the transfer of the apoptin into the cell. Once transferred into the tumor cells, apoptin can induce the apoptosis of them potently.
Notes
(1) The restriction enzyme cutting site was identified.
(2) The appropriate sequences of TAT and apoptin were selected.
