This peptide is primarily used in biochemical research and pharmaceutical development due to its specific sequence, which mimics certain bioactive peptides. It is often employed in studies related to enzyme-substrate interactions, particularly for proteases, as it can act as a substrate or inhibitor depending on the enzyme's specificity. Its structure makes it useful for investigating peptide stability, folding, and degradation mechanisms. Additionally, it serves as a building block in peptide synthesis for creating larger, more complex peptides or proteins with potential therapeutic applications. In drug discovery, it may be used to design and optimize peptide-based drugs targeting specific biological pathways or diseases.
