MeSH definition : N-(N-(N(2)-(N-(N-(N-(N-D-Alanyl L-seryl)-L-threonyl)-L-threonyl) L-threonyl)-L-asparaginyl)-L-tyrosyl)
L-threonine. Octapeptide sharing sequence homology with HIV envelope protein gp120.
It is potentially useful as antiviral agent in AIDS therapy. The core pentapeptide
sequence, TTNYT, consisting of amino acids 4-8 in peptide T, is the HIV envelope sequence
required for attachment to the CD4 receptor.;
