Beschreibung

Dnp-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Trp-Ala-D-Arg-NH2 is a synthetic substrate for the enzyme sodium citrate synthase. Dnp is an inhibitor of the citrate synthase enzyme, which prevents the conversion of oxaloacetate to citrate and the formation of acetyl CoA. The use of deuterium has shown that this compound binds in a manner similar to but more stable than acetic acid. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against this synthetic substrate and found to be effective in inhibiting epidermal growth factor (EGF) synthesis by blocking the activation of EGF receptors on cell surfaces. This process reduces ulceration and cell proliferation in cell culture systems. The antibody also inhibits atherosclerotic lesion development in animal models, as well as collagen production by cells. This protein's tryptophan fluorescence indicates that it is a neutral peptide with a high degree of hydrophob
