Amino Acid Sequence

Arg-Gly-Asp

General description

Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) is an integrin binding site, which belongs to the class of adhesive proteins. It functions as a brain tumor targeting ligand.

Application

Arg-Gly-Asp has been used:
  • to saturate the cell surface Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) receptors and inhibit marrow stromal cell (MSC) attachment to peptide modified hydrogel
  • in adhesion assay
  • in inhibition assay to confirm the β1-integrin-dependency of cell adhesion
  • in textile fabrication and RGD textile functionalization
  • to engineer a population of human dermal fibroblasts with impaired migration
  • to modify glass substrate and evaluate the behavior of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs)
  • in the cell culture of human mammary epithelial cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Primary sequence involved with the binding of proteins to cell surfaces

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Preparation Note

Tripeptide from the cell-attachment domain of fibronectin

Since the discovery of the RGD sequence motif as the essential cell attachment site in Fn (fibronectin), RGD-dependent ligand recognition by integrins has been the major focus of many integrin researches. Although many integrins recognize RGD-containing ligands, it is believed
