THE CANCER TERMINATOR
HDM-2 Binding Peptide
PNC-27 is a synthetic peptide designed to selectively kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. It works by binding to HDM-2, a protein that cancer cells overexpress on their surface, and then forming pores in their membranes. This liberates the p53 tumor suppressor, allowing it to trigger cancer cell death. It's being researched for various cancers.
