This peptide sequence is found in residues 25 to 33 of the mouse self/tumor antigen glycoprotein (mgp100). This fragment is a H-2Db–restricted epitope recognized by CD8+ T cells. Mgp100 is an enzyme normally involved in pigment synthesis, and the epitope fragment is typically expressed in both normal melanocytes and melanoma cells. - Pyroglutamyl (pGlu) peptides may spontaneously form when either Glutamine (Q) or Glutamic acid (E) is located at the sequence N-terminus. The conversion of Q or E to pGlu is a natural occurrence and in general it is believed that the hydrophobic ?-lactam ring of pGlu may play a role in peptide stability against gastrointestinal proteases. Pyroglutamyl peptides are therefore considered a normal subset of such peptides and are included as part of the peptide purity during HPLC analysis.
