TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR (TFG) beta SUPERFAMILY ANTAGONISTS

摘要

Antagonists for biological processes induced by dimers or multimers are described that are easily derivable from the respective dimers or multimers by omission of at least one nonomer unit and/or at least one wrongly bound or folded nonomer unit. Particularly suitable antagonists of this kind are BMP antagonists that are a very efficient agent against undesired ossification due to trauma or operations such as hip replacement.
