Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We have recently shown that Alphastatin, a 24-amino-acid peptide (ADSGEGDFLAEGGGVRGPRVVERH) derived from human fibrinogen has anti-endothelial properties in vitro and in vivo. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the activity of a terminally modified (stabilized) form of Alphastatin in vitro and in vivo and to identify the key residues required for this activity. METHODS: The in vitro...
