Cell-adhesion Peptides

Fibronectin Adhesion-promoting Peptide (Heparin Binding Peptide) is one of the heparin-binding amino acid sequences found in the carboxy-terminal heparin-binding domain of fibronectin. It promotes assembly of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) spheroids into larger aggregates. Fibronectin Adhesion-promoting Peptide directly promotes the adhesion, spreading, and migration of endothelial cells by reacting with heparin binding domains of cells.

Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (TFA) is an integrin binding sequence that inhibits integrin receptor function. Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (TFA) directly and specifically bind pro-caspase-8, pro-caspase-9 and pro-caspase-3, while it does not bind pro-caspase-1.

Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (TFA) is a pentapeptide that forms the cell-binding domain of a glycoprotein, osteopontin. Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser binds to integrin receptors αvβ3 and αvβ5 with estimated IC₅₀ of ∼5 and ∼6.5 μM.

Fibronectin active fragment control is an active peptide fragment of fibronectin. Fibronectin is a glycoprotein interacting with integrins. Fibronectin active fragment control can be used as a control for Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (HY-P0295).

GRGDSPC, a 7-amino acid peptide, is a thiolated cell adhesion peptide.

Fibrinopeptide A, human is a 16-residue short polypeptide cleaved from fibrinogen by thrombin. Fibrinopeptide A, human locates at the NH₂-termini of the Aα chain.

Fibrinopeptide B, human is a 14-aa peptide, released from the amino-terminus of β-chains of fibrinogen by thrombin.

C-telopeptide is a cross-linked peptide of type I collagen that is released during bone resorption and correlates with bone mineral density (BMD). C-telopeptide can be used in studies related to postmenopausal osteoporosis.
