R18 TFA（Cat No.:I045815）is the trifluoroacetate salt of R18, a synthetic arginine-rich peptide composed of 18 arginine residues. Known for its strong cell-penetrating properties, R18 efficiently crosses cellular and nuclear membranes, enabling it to modulate intracellular signaling pathways. It has been extensively studied for neuroprotective effects, particularly in models of ischemic brain injury and excitotoxicity, where it interferes with NMDA receptor-mediated calcium influx. The TFA salt improves stability and handling. R18 TFA is a valuable research tool in neuroscience and therapeutic exploration for stroke and neurodegenerative diseases.
