摘要 |
<p>The invention includes an isolated peptide smaller than a native amyloid precursor protein (APP) that retains at least some neuronal growth promoting effect of APP. The peptide includes at least five consecutive amino acid residues with side-chain polarities corresponding to the side-chain polarities of the sequence RERMS. Non-peptide corresponding compounds and methods of obtaining these are also included. Moreover, the invention includes methods of treatment of neurological conditions using the peptides and non-peptides.</p> |
