Radiolabeled peptides containing RGD show high affinity and selectivity for integrin αVβ3 and are being investigated as tools to monitor treatment response of tumors via PET imaging. [24] These include 18 F-Galacto-RGD, 18 F-Fluciclatide-RGD, 18 F-RGD-K5, 68 Ga-NOTA-RGD, 68 Ga-NOTA-PRGD2, 18 F-Alfatide, 18 F-Alfatide II, and 18 F-FPPRGD2.

This peptide consists of a core peptide segment which is typically preceded (and occasionally followed) by a leader peptide segment and is typically ~20-110 residues long. The leader peptide is usually important for enabling enzymatic processing of the precursor peptide via aiding in recognition of the core peptide by biosynthetic enzymes and ...
Mint Bills, formerly Check [1] and before that Pageonce, [2] was a website and mobile banking application developed by Check, Inc. [citation needed] Mint Bills utilized proprietary account aggregation technology for secure payment technologies in its mobile applications; its primary service allowed users to pay bills and track bank, credit card, investment, and loan transactions and balances ...
Ibutamoren (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name) (developmental code names MK-677, MK-0677, LUM-201, L-163,191; former tentative brand name Oratrope) is a potent, long-acting, orally-active, selective, and non-peptide agonist of the ghrelin receptor and a growth hormone secretagogue, mimicking the growth hormone (GH)-stimulating action of the endogenous hormone ghrelin.
Long arginine 3-IGF-1, abbreviated as IGF-1 LR3 or LR3-IGF-1, is a synthetic protein and lengthened analogue of human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). [1] [2] It differs from native IGF-1 in that it possesses an arginine instead of a glutamic acid at the third position in its amino acid sequence ("arginine 3"), and also has an additional 13 amino acids at its N-terminus (MFPAMPLLSLFVN ...
This peptide, in humans, exists in two forms: CGRP alpha (α-CGRP or CGRP I), and CGRP beta (β-CGRP or CGRP II). [2] α-CGRP is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide and is formed by alternative splicing [3] of the calcitonin/CGRP gene located on chromosome 11. β-CGRP is less studied.
Peptide therapeutics are peptides or polypeptides (oligomers or short polymers of amino acids) which are used to for the treatment of diseases. Naturally occurring peptides may serve as hormones , growth factors , neurotransmitters , ion channel ligands , and anti-infectives ; peptide therapeutics mimic such functions.
