FOXO4-DRI
FOXO4-DRI is a synthetic 46-residue D-retro-inverso peptide (all-D, reversed sequence) derived from a FOXO4 fragment joined to a cell-penetrating TAT-type import motif - distinct from the native 505-residue FOXO4 transcription factor (UniProt P98177).
Identity & structure
Primary sequence · 46 residues · D-retro-inverso 46-mer: every chiral residue is the D-enantiomer (glycine is achiral and unchanged) and the sequence order is reversed relative to the parent L-peptide. Lowercase letters in the written sequence denote D-configuration. The free N-terminus is a primary amine; the C-terminus is a free acid..

FOXO4-DRI is a synthetic 46-residue peptide built as a D-retro-inverso (DRI) isoform: every chiral residue is a D-amino acid and the sequence order is reversed relative to its parent L-peptide (written here in lowercase to mark the D-configuration, ltlrkepaseiaqsileaysqngwanrrsggkrppprrrqrrkkrg). The construct joins a FOXO4-derived p53-interacting segment to a cell-penetrating TAT-type import motif, then rebuilds the whole as retro-inverso all-D - reading the chain in reverse as L-residues exposes an N-terminal GRKKRRQRRRPPP TAT-type motif. It is not native FOXO4: the human forkhead box O4 transcription factor (gene FOXO4, UniProt P98177) is a 505-residue protein, whereas this is a short designed peptide derived from a fragment of it. The molecular formula C228H388N86O64 is computed from the 46-residue composition (D- and L-amino acids share the same formula and mass) and is corroborated by PubChem CID 167312269; because the all-D retro-inverso stereochemistry cannot be machine-verified, no InChIKey or PubChem CID is asserted on this record and no verified 2D or 3D structure is shown. The published average molecular weight is about 5358.2 Da (Baar et al., Cell, 2017); the peptide is typically supplied as an acetate salt, so a lot's measured salt mass will be higher.
Reference context
FOXO4-DRI is a synthetic 46-residue D-retro-inverso peptide (all-D, reversed sequence) derived from a FOXO4 fragment joined to a cell-penetrating TAT-type import motif - distinct from the native 505-residue FOXO4 transcription factor (UniProt P98177). It is listed here strictly as an analytical reference entity — it is not sold, stocked, or certified by Lineará, and has no price or certificate of analysis. The data on this page is characterization only: molecular formula C228H388N86O64 and the values computed from it. No biological activity, mechanism, or use is described or implied.

How FOXO4-DRI is characterized
Identity rests on the molecular formula and mass. Electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measures the mass-to-charge ratio of the intact molecule; the average and monoisotopic masses are computed from the verified formula and cross-check the composition. The residue sequence and the modifications noted above define the structure.
