What is P21?

P21 is an 11-amino acid peptide derived from CNTF (Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor) with enhanced BBB permeability. It promotes neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus by activating the CNTF signaling cascade without the peripheral side effects of full-length CNTF. Research shows increased BrdU+ neurons in the subgranular zone after P21 administration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does P21 cross the blood-brain barrier?

Yes, P21 was specifically designed with enhanced BBB permeability compared to full-length CNTF. Its smaller size (11 amino acids vs 200 for CNTF) and modified structure enable CNS penetration for hippocampal neurogenesis research.
