Synthetic diacylated lipoprotein Pam2CSK4 is a synthetic diacylated lipopeptide (LP). According to the current model, diacylated LPs induce signaling through TLR2/6. However, it was also reported that Pam2CSK4 induces signaling in a TLR6-independent manner. This finding suggests that both the lipid and peptide part of lipoproteins take part in the specificity of recognition by TLR2 heterodimers. Catalog code change notification
The catalog code of Pam2CSK4 has been changed from "tlrl-pam2" to "tlrl-pm2s" to notify a modification in the production process. Pam2CSK4 "tlrl-pam2" was synthesized in a liquid form, Pam2CSK4 "tlrl-pm2s" is produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis. Specifications

Contents • Pam2CSK4 is available in two quantities:
- 100 μg: tlrl-pam2 - 1 mg: tlrl-pam2-1
• 1.5 ml sterile endotoxin-free water
Pam2CSK4 is provided as a lyophilized powder and shipped at room temperature. Store at 4°C. Upon resuspension prepare aliquots of Pam2CSK4 and store at 4°C for short term storage or -20°C for long storage. Resuspended product is stable 1 month at 4°C and 6 months at -20°C when properly stored. Description Pam2CSK4 is a synthetic diacylated lipopeptide (LP). Bacterial lipoproteins are strong immune modulators that activate early innate host responses after infection. LP analogs of these lipoproteins signal either through TLR2/1 or TLR2/6 heterodimers. According to the current model, triacylated LP like Pam3CSK4, are recognized by TLR2/1, whereas diacylated LP, such as FSL1, induce signaling through TLR2/6. However, it was recently reported that diacylated LP, such as Pam2CSK4, induce signaling in a TLR6-independent manner [1]. This finding suggests that both the lipid and peptide part of lipoproteins take part in the specificity of recognition by TLR2 heterodimers.
