The kFGF MTS has been covalently linked to several other peptides, including<br />

a cyclic, 10-residue inhibitor of enzyme oligosaccharyl transferase for translocation<br />

across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane in vitro; 75 a peptide representing an<br />

epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) autophosphorylation site; 35 a 12-residue<br />

peptide derived from the region surrounding phosphotyrosine 317 of the intracellular<br />

signaling protein Shc; 76 and a series of peptides representing binding sites of proteins<br />

involved in signaling pathways associated with activation of the G protein-coupled<br />

receptor 5-HT 2C in choroid plexus endothelial cells. 77 Moreover, the nuclear import<br />

of NF-κB has been inhibited by an SN50 analog, a peptide comprising two NLSs<br />

of NF-κB, one on either end of the kFGF MTS, to increase the efficacy of nuclear<br />

uptake. 78 This peptide was also synthesized using D-amino acids to increase resistance
