A potent anti-thrombosis peptide (vasotab TY) from horsefly salivary glands

- A KGD-containing peptide shows potent platelet inhibitory activities.
- The mechanism of anti-thrombosis relies on the binding to GPIIb/IIIa.
- Vasotab TY significantly reduces thrombus weight and inhibits thrombosis in vivo.
- The half-life of vasotab TY is more than 1 h in vivo.
