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 hydrogelin adhesion assayin inhibition assay to confirm the β1-integrin-dependency of cell adhesionin textile fabrication and RGD textile functionalizationto engineer a population of human dermal fibroblasts with impaired migrationto 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

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.
