This peptide is primarily used in research settings to study cellular processes involving dynamin, a protein crucial for membrane trafficking and endocytosis. By inhibiting dynamin's activity, it helps scientists understand the role of dynamin in various cellular functions, such as vesicle formation and receptor internalization. It is particularly valuable in neuroscience research to explore synaptic vesicle recycling and neurotransmission. Additionally, it aids in investigating diseases where dynamin dysfunction is implicated, such as certain neurological disorders and cancer. Its myristoylation enhances cell permeability, making it more effective in cellular and in vivo studies.
