PEPTIDES WITH .BETA.1 INTEGRIN SUBUNIT DEPENDENT CELL ADHESION MODULATING ACTIVITY

摘要

Peptides capable of modulating .beta.1 integrin subunit dependent cell adhesion which includes a C-terminal aromatic amino acid residue and an amino acid residue having a lipophilic alkyl side chain as the penultimate Cterminal residue are provided. These "LipAr" C-terminated peptides are typically capable of modulating the .beta.1 integrin subunit dependent adhesion of cells, such as Ramos cells.
