TRANSMEMBRANE PEPTIDIC ANTAGONISTS OF PLEXIN-A1 AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC USES
Abstract:
The present application relates to peptides derived from the transmembrane domain of Plexin-A1 that inhibits Neuropilin-1/Plexin-A1 heterodimerization. These peptides neutralize the inhibitory effect of Sema3A on cell migration and angiogenesis, and may be useful for the treatment of diseases associated with Sema3A and/or Neuropilin-1/Plexin-A1 activity, such as demyelinating diseases and diseases associated with abnormal angiogenesis such as cancer.
