ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to peptides corresponding to regions of the amino acid sequence of TGF-.beta.1 or TGF-.beta.2 which retain, either in monomeric or polymeric forms, at least some of the biological activity of the respective full length TGF-.beta.. The monomeric form of the peptide derived from TGF-.beta.1 comprises the following amino acid sequence: CVRQLYIDFRKDLGWKWIHEPKGYHANFCLGP (SEQ ID NO: 1). The monomeric form of the peptide derived from TGF-.beta.2 comprises the following amino acid sequence: CLRPLYIDFKRDLGWKWIHEPKGYNANFCAGA (SEQ ID NO: 2). Dimers may be formed via disulfide bonds between the amino-terminal cysteine residues, the carboxy-terminal cysteine residues, or amino- and carboxy-terminal cysteine residues of the monomer subunits.
