| Description | Platelet Factor 4 (58-70) (human) also called PF4 (58-70) (human), is a peptide based on the amino acid sequence corresponding to residues 58-70 of platelet factor-4 (PF-4), it contains the major heparin-binding domain, which is not sufficient for full antiangiogenic activity. Like the intact platelet factor, it is able to alleviate immunosuppression in mice. It is also fully active as an inhibitor of angiogenesis in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane. The angiostatic activity is obviously associated with the C-terminal, heparin-binding region of PF4. The helical tridecapeptide shows antimicrobial activity. |
