Sequence:

RGDV

Cas No. :

Molecular Formula:

C₁₇H₃₁N₇O₇

Molecular Weight:

445.48

Description

Studies using a baboon model showed that RGDV selectively inhibits platelet-dependent thrombus formation in vivo. In a study by Kawahara et al. on the inhibitory effects of adhesion oligopeptides on the invasion of squamous carcinoma cells RGDV was the most effective inhibitor amongst the evaluated peptides.
