IDENTIFICATION OF NOVEL ANTI-FIBROTIC PEPTIDE IN C-TERMINAL REGION OF THE MET RECEPTOR TYROSINE KINASE

摘要

The invention provides anti-fibrotic peptides derived from the C- terminal region of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase. Polynucleotides encoding these peptides, host cells transformed with the polynucleotides, and methods of using these peptides and polynucleotides are included in the invention. Uses of these peptides, polynucleotides and expression vectors include the treatment of fibrosis in a subject.
