Description

F-Ala-Arg-OH is a peptide hormone that has been shown to have antitumor, antiinflammatory, and antidiabetic properties. The peptide hormone binds to the creatine kinase enzyme and inhibits its activity, which leads to a decrease in phosphocreatine levels in the human serum. F-Ala-Arg-OH does not inhibit lysine residues of the creatine kinase enzyme. This inhibition can be reversed by adding ATP or adding an activator. F-Ala-Arg-OH also inhibits cancer cells through apoptosis. This inhibition of cancer cells may be due to the ability of this peptide to bind to lysine residues on cell membranes and activate them. F-Ala-Arg-OH is also able to destroy tumor cells by binding to their mitochondria and inducing their lysis.
