Description
KLTWQELYQLKYKGI is a VEGF mimetic peptide designed based on the VEGF helix sequence 17-25, with the ability to activate VEGF receptors and exert pro-angiogenic biological activity. KLTWQELYQLKYKGI effectively promotes the attachment, spreading and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. KLTWQELYQLKYKGI enhances the proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). KLTWQELYQLKYKGI synergistically accelerates angiogenesis and bone regeneration in rat cranial defect models. KLTWQELYQLKYKGI can be used for the research of brain tissue engineering and traumatic brain injury repair and biomaterials for bone tissue engineering and bone repair[1][2]
