Highly Potent Peptides To Control Cancer And Neurodegenerative Diseases

摘要

This invention provides compositions and method of diminishing or inhibiting autophagy by administering a FLIP protein that binds to Atg3, interfering with the formation of the LC3-Atg4-Atg7-Atg3 conjugation complex necessary for autophagy induction. This invention also provides FLIP peptide fragments that promote or induce autophagy by interfering with the activity of FLIP.
