Bioactivity | VGB3 is an antagonist peptide of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1)/VEGFR2 with antiangiogenic and antitumor effects. VGB3 binds to both VEGFR1 and VEGFR2, thereby inhibits VEGF-driven proliferation, migration and tube formation of endothelial cells, and tumor growth and metastasis in murine 4T1 mammary carcinoma tumor model[1]. |
