Overview
PE-22-28 at a glance
Spadin was described in PLoS Biology in 2010 as a sortilin-derived peptide targeting TREK-1 channels. PE-22-28 is a shorter analogue based on the same region.
The literature on this specific peptide is limited, so it should be verified by independent analysis.
Structure
PubChem lists the peptide as glycyl-valyl-seryl-tryptophyl-glycyl-leucyl-arginine, and the calculated formula from that sequence matches the record.

Analytical notes for batch documents
- The tryptophan residue is the main oxidation site (+15.995 Da).
- Expect [M+H]+ at m/z 774.43 and a weaker [M+2H]2+ at m/z 387.72.
- Mass shifts to look for in this sequence: tryptophan oxidation (+15.995 Da).
- The molecular weight of a vial of powder includes counter-ions and water; the share of the powder that is peptide is the net peptide content.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is PE-22-28?
PE-22-28 is a seven-residue peptide (Gly-Val-Ser-Trp-Gly-Leu-Arg) that is described as a short peptide related to spadin, a sortilin-derived peptide that blocks the TREK-1 potassium channel.
What is the molecular weight of PE-22-28?
PE-22-28 has the formula C35H55N11O9, an average molecular weight of 773.88 g/mol and a monoisotopic mass of 773.4184 Da. A salt form, a different counter-ion or a metal complex changes the molecular weight printed on a certificate of analysis, so compare like with like.
How can I check the identity of a batch of PE-22-28?
Compare the intact mass measured by LC-MS with the expected values on this page, for example [M+2H]2+ at m/z 387.7165. Confirm that one main HPLC peak carries that mass and that the batch code on the report matches the vial. The guides on mass spectrometry and on certificates of analysis explain each step.
Which PE-22-28 products does Vesta list?
Vesta lists 2 products for PE-22-28: 5 mg, 10 mg per vial in kits of 10 vials. Prices are shown per kit in US dollars, and shipping is paid by the customer.
