Bioactivity | LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin (TSP-1) TFA is a latency-associated protein (LAP)-TGFβ derived tetrapeptide and a competitive TGF-β1 antagonist. LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin (TSP-1) TFA inhibits the binding of TSP-1 to LAP and alleviates renal interstitial fibrosis and hepatic fibrosis. LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin (TSP-1) TFA suppresses subarachnoid fibrosis via inhibition of TSP-1-mediated TGF-β1 activity, prevents the development of chronic hydrocephalus and improves long-term neurocognitive defects following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin (TSP-1) TFA can readily crosse the blood-brain barrier[1][2]. | ||||||
Invitro | The KTFR sequence from ADAMTS1 is responsible for the interaction with the LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin (TSP-1) (LSKL peptide) from the latent form of TGF-β, leading to its activation. There is a stable binding mode between LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin (TSP-1) and ADAMTS1 KTFR sequence, characterized by 3 salt bridges and 2 hydrogen bonds[2]. | ||||||
