  • Publication number: 20110230367
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an amphiphilic peptide capable of promoting target miRNA production and a method for regulating the production of target miRNA using the same. In detail, the amphiphilic peptide of the present invention binds strongly and specifically to hairpin-shaped target miRNA. The specific binding affinity induces the Dicer enzyme activity, therefore specifically increase the production of target miRNA. The present invention can be effectively used for regulating the amount of target miRNA produced in vivo, for the study of miRNA functions and for producing therapeutic drug for target miRNA related disease.
