This is a effectively agonistic peptide (mimotope) for diabetogenic T cell clone BDC2.5. It can stimulate BDC2.5 cells with cells showing good response to this mimotope. 1040-31 peptide is specific for BDC2.5 TCR Tg+ (transgenic) T cells. This peptide is also known as p31.

N-Acetyl-L-glutamic acid (NAcGlu) is an acetylated amino acid. NAcGlu is biosynthesized from glutamic acid and acetyl-CoA by the enzyme N-acetyl glutamate synthase (NAGS).

Endothelin-1 (1-31) (Human) is a potent vasoconstrictor and hypertensive agent. Endothelin-1 (1-31) (Human) is derived from the selective hydrolysis of big ET-1 by chymase.
