Biological/Functional activity & target protein
Hypocholesterolemic activity
  1. Research carried out in silico on peptide YVVNPDNNEN interaction with the catalytic site of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCoAR, EC 1.1.1.88) demonstrated that it behave as competitive inhibitor of HMGCoAR activity with a statin-like mechanism, confirmed by direct inhibition experiments.

  2. Research in HepG2 cells aimed at investigating the effects on cholesterol metabolism showed that compared to mock treatment peptide YVVNPDNNEN at 350 μM up-regulates the mature SREBP2 protein level by 158.0 ± 9.2%, increases the LDL level 164.0 ± 17.9%, and induces a HMGCoAR protein increase by 170 ± 50.0%.
