Abstract excerpt
Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) is a hub receptor that plays an essential role in angiogenesis and vascular permeability. It is over-expressed in the new blood vessels grown by tumor cells and is a target for anti-tumor treatments. Peptides that expose the consensus sequence R/K/XXR/K at the C-terminus (C-end rule or CendR peptides) bind to NRP-1 and are internalized into the cell. We used peptide phage display binding...
