text: Four members of 2A peptides family are frequently used in life science research. They are P2A, E2A, F2A, and T2A. F2A is derived from foot-and-mouth disease virus 18; E2A is derived from  equine rhinitis A virus; P2A is derived from porcine teschovirus-1 2A; T2A is derived from  thosea asigna virus 2A.
  The following table shows the sequences of four members of 2A peptides. Adding the optional linker “GSG” (Gly-Ser-Gly) on the N-terminal of a 2A peptide helps with efficiency.
