The Asp-Gly-Glu-Ala (DGEA) amino acid domain of type I collagen interacts with the α2β1 integrin receptor on the cell membrane and mediates extracellular signals into cells. It is a potential antagonist of collagen receptors.
α2β1 Integrin Ligand Peptide TFA interacts with integrin receptors on the cell membrane, mediating extracellular signaling and potentially acting as an antagonist of the collagen receptor.
Highly potent integrin α1β1 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.8 nM for α1β1 binding to type IV collagen). Selective for α1β1 over α2β1, αIIbβ3, αvβ3, α4β1, α5β6, α9β1 and α4β7. Inhibits FGF2-stimulated angiogenesis in the chicken chorioallantoic model. Displays antitum
