Self-assembling mini cell-penetrating peptides enter by both direct translocation and glycosaminoglycan-dependent endocytosis

Abstract

A small library of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) containing a minimized cationic domain and a lipophilic domain of different size was studied. CPPs that could self-assemble were found to enter cells more efficiently, triggering a glycosaminoglycan-dependent pathway.
