What is T7?
A short transferrin receptor-targeting peptide used to enhance transport across endothelial barriers and into rapidly dividing cells. It is commonly explored for brain delivery and cancer-targeted nanoparticle systems.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
transferrin receptor targeting
endothelial transport
brain delivery
Research Summary
T7 has been reported in multiple preclinical drug-delivery platforms, especially liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, and prodrug systems. Its main advantage is receptor-mediated uptake with relatively small sequence size and easy chemical conjugation.
