摘要 |
The present invention relates to biologically active peptides derived from t he neurite outgrowth-promoting domain of laminin-1, i.e. the .gamma.1-chain of laminin-1. These peptides include the decapeptide RDIAEIIKDI and the truncat ed peptides derived therefrom comprising the biologically active domain thereof , the tripeptide KDI. The invention is directed to the biologically active tripeptide motif KDI, and to its use in promoting regeneration of neuronal o r non-neuronal tissues and, in specific, to its use in the treatment of spinal cord injuries.
