Used in cellular and molecular biology research to inhibit dynamin-dependent processes, particularly endocytosis. It blocks the internalization of various receptors and ligands by preventing vesicle scission at the plasma membrane. Commonly applied in studies involving signal transduction, receptor trafficking, and viral entry mechanisms. Also utilized to investigate the role of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in cellular uptake of drugs and nanoparticles.

Popular in neuroscience research because dynamin is involved in neurotransmitter release. Studying the effects of this peptide helps understand the mechanisms of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.

Additionally, it is used to control the delivery of drugs or active substances into cells in targeted drug delivery research. By modulating endocytosis processes, it can increase or decrease the uptake of drugs in target cells as desired.

Its TFA salt form enhances solubility and stability in aqueous solutions, making it suitable for in vitro experiments.
