Application

mPEG functionalized gelatin is Type A gelatin grafted with PEG that can be used in drug delivery research. Gelatin is a denatured protein that is obtained by hydrolysis of animal collagen. Its biodegradability, biocompatibility, chemical modification potential and cross-linking possibility make gelatin-based nanoparticles (GNPs) a promising carrier system for drug delivery applications. mPEG functionalization has several advantages − prolonged circulation in the body, decreased degradation by metabolic enzymes, and reduction or elimination of protein immunogencity.
