FAQ
- What is PTD-DBM and how does it work in preclinical research?
- PTD-DBM is a synthetic peptide pairing a protein transduction domain (PTD) with a Dishevelled binding motif (DBM). In cell and animal studies it displaces CXXC5 from the Dvl protein, removing a negative regulator of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
- Is PTD-DBM prohibited under WADA anti-doping rules?
- PTD-DBM is not listed by name on the WADA Prohibited List, but as a non-approved synthetic peptide it falls under class S0 (Non-Approved Substances), which is prohibited at all times in sport governed by WADA rules.
- How is PTD-DBM reconstituted for laboratory use?
- Divide the peptide mass in the vial (mg) by the volume of bacteriostatic water added (mL) to obtain concentration. Example: 5 mg dissolved in 2 mL bacteriostatic water yields 2.5 mg/mL. Use a peptide calculator for other vial-and-volume combinations.
