In this work, the antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo of the peptide E24G, derived from the DNA-binding POU domain of the BRN2 transcription factor was investigated. This peptide was fragmented into two smaller peptides E12F and A12G, their antitumor activities were characterized and compared with E24G.
