Abstract
⺠Novel peptide of 12 amino acids binds to endothelial cell surface receptor identified as vimentin. ⺠Binding of the peptide to vimentin triggers endothelial cell tube formation under hypoxic conditions. ⺠Local administration of the peptide to mouse hind limb ischemia model improves blood perfusion and induced increase in capillary density.
