What is PE-22-28?
PE-22-28 is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4)-binding domain of RACK1 (Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1). By disrupting the RACK1-PDE4 protein-protein interaction, PE-22-28 inhibits PDE4-mediated cAMP degradation, leading to elevated intracellular cAMP and enhanced PKA/CREB signalling—a molecular cascade fundamental to memory formation and synaptic plasticity. For published research, see PubMed studies on PE-22-28{:target=“_blank” rel=“noopener”}.
PE-22-28 represents a novel peptide-based approach to PDE4 inhibition that may avoid the emetic side effects associated with small-molecule PDE4 inhibitors like rolipram.
Best-Peptides supplies research-grade PE-22-28 with guaranteed ≥99% purity and full analytical documentation.

FAQ
PE-22-28 is a heptapeptide derived from the RACK1 (Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1) protein. It acts as a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor and is studied for cognitive enhancement, memory consolidation, cAMP signalling, and CREB-mediated transcription in neuronal systems.
PE-22-28 is derived from the PDE4-binding domain of RACK1 and competes with endogenous RACK1 for PDE4 binding. By disrupting the RACK1-PDE4 interaction, it prevents PDE4-mediated cAMP degradation, leading to elevated cAMP levels and enhanced PKA/CREB signalling.
PE-22-28 elevates intracellular cAMP by inhibiting PDE4-mediated degradation. Sustained cAMP activates PKA, which phosphorylates CREB (cAMP response element-binding protein), driving expression of memory-associated genes including BDNF, Arc, and c-Fos.
Store lyophilised PE-22-28 at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted, keep at 2-8°C and use within 4 weeks. Protect from light and moisture.
Our PE-22-28 is ≥99% pure as verified by HPLC. Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis with purity data and mass spectrometry identity confirmation.
Yes, PE-22-28 is frequently studied alongside small-molecule PDE4 inhibitors such as rolipram, roflumilast, and GEBR-7b to compare mechanisms, side effect profiles, and cognitive enhancement potency.
Reconstitute in sterile bacteriostatic water or DMSO. Add solvent slowly along the vial wall and gently swirl to dissolve. For aqueous solutions, PE-22-28 dissolves readily.
PE-22-28 is available in 5 mg vials, supplied in packs of 10 × 5 mg for research applications.
