摘要 |
A peptide that causes a suppression in protein synthesis by halting the translation of mRNA into protein, the peptide having a Stokes radius of less than 16 Angstroms, a molecular weight, determined by SDS-PAGE, of 17 kD (indicating that the peptide is a monomer) and an isoelectric point of 7.25. The peptide of the present invention may have therapeutic advantages in halting the proliferation of abnormal or excess protein, such as in malignancies, IHSS or hemi-hypertrophy.
