H2N-Dpeg(4)-COOH, can be used in optical imaging of integrin αvβ3 expression with near-infrared fluorescent RGD dimer with tetra(ethylene glycol) linkers. Integrin αvβ3 plays great roles in tumor angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis.
benefits
Amino-dPEG4-acid has a primary amine and propionic acid terminating opposite ends of a 16-atoms long (18.0 ?) polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer. The single molecular weight PEG spacer is discrete (D = 1). Moreover, it is highly hydrophilic, and it imparts hydrophilicity to conjugates that incorporate it. Amino-dPEG4-acid is useful in many different applications, including peptide synthesis, surface modification, dendrimer construction, and small molecule modification.
