General description
A cell-permeable peptide that consists of the calcineurin (CaN) autoinhibitory domain (AID) fused to a poly-arginine-based protein transduction doamin (11R) and acts as an inhibitor of CaN phosphatase activity. Reported to block CaN-dependent NFAT nuclear translocation and NFAT promoter activity in neurons. Also reported to protect neuronal cells from glutamate-induced cell death.
