PNC-27

Overview
PNC‑27 is a 32‑residue chimeric peptide derived from a segment of the p53 tumor‑suppressor protein. It is widely utilized in in vitro and laboratory‑based research involving protein–protein interactions, membrane‑binding mechanisms, and peptide‑induced pore‑formation pathways. PNC‑27 is of particular interest for studies examining its affinity for HDM‑2 (MDM2), a regulatory protein associated with cellular stress‑response pathways.
