Bioactivity | cRGDfK-thioacetyl ester is a bioactive polypeptide molecule. It is composed of several amino acid residues, including cysteine (C), arginine (R), glycine (G), aspartic acid (D), phenylalanine (F), and lysine (K). This polypeptide has a specific sequence, called "cRGDfK". cRGDfK peptide has a selective affinity for integrins. cRGDfK peptide can modify NIR fluorescent probes for cancer targeting imaging[1][2]. |
