ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for circularly permuted ligands which possess specificity and binding affinity comparable to or greater than the specificity and binding affinity of the original (unpermuted) ligand. The invention further provides for novel fusion proteins comprising a circularly permuted ligand fused to one or more proteins of interest.
