NOD1 Agonist - L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-mDAP
L-Ala-γ-D-Glu-mDAP (Tri-DAP) comprises the iE-DAP (γ-D-Glu-mDAP) dipeptide and a L-Ala residue. Tri-DAP is present in the peptidoglycan (PGN) of Gram-negative bacilli and certain Gram-positive bacteria.
Tri-DAP is recognized by the intracellular sensor NOD1, which induces a signaling cascade leading to NF-κB activation and the production of inflammatory cytokines. Tri-DAP exhibits a ~3-fold higher ability to activate NF-κB than iE-DAP.
Tri-DAP provided by InvivoGen is chemically synthesized and tested using HEK-Blue™ NOD1.
Note: Tri-DAP is a mixture of L-Ala-γ-D-Glu-D-mDAP and L- Ala-γ-D-Glu-L-mDAP.

Description
L-Ala-γ-D-Glu-mDAP (Tri-DAP) comprises the iE-DAP (γ-D- Glu-mDAP) dipeptide and a L-Ala residue. Tri-DAP is present in the peptidoglycan (PGN) of a subset of bacteria that include Gram-negative bacilli and particular Gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Listeria monocytogenes [1]. Tri-DAP is recognized by NOD1 (CARD4), an intracellular sensor expressed in multiple tissues including intestinal epithelia cells. Recognition of Tri-DAP by NOD1 induces a signaling cascade involving the serine/threonine RIP2 (RICK, CARDIAK) kinase which interacts with IKK leading to the activation of NF-κB and the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6 [2]. Tri-DAP exhibits a ~3-fold higher ability to activate NF-κB than iE-DAP [3].
