LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin TSP-1 |
| Catalog No.GC32728 |
LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin TSP-1 is a latency-associated protein (LAP)-TGFβ derived tetrapeptide and a competitive TGF-β1 antagonist. LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin TSP-1 inhibits the binding of TSP-1 to LAP and alleviates renal interstitial fibrosis and hepatic fibrosis. LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin TSP-1 suppresses subarachnoid fibrosis via inhibition of TSP-1-mediated TGF-β1 activity, prevents the development of chronic hydrocephalus and improves long-term neurocognitive defects following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin TSP-1 can readily crosse the blood-brain barrier.

LSKL, Inhibitor of Thrombospondin (TSP-1) is a peptide derived from the latency-associated peptide, inhibits thrombospondin (TSP-1) activation of TGF-β and prevents the progression of hepatic damage and fibrosis.
LSKL peptide is able to reduce liver fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-β activation[2].
LSKL (1 mg/kg, i.p.) can easily traverse the blood brain barrier. LSKL peptide also alleviates hydrocephalus and improves long-term cognitive function following SAH. Moreover, LSKL peptide inhibits subarachnoid fibrosis after SAH. LSKL treatment significantly decreases the activation of TGF-β1 in the CSF in comparison with that in the SAH+PBS group[1]. LSKL peptide (30 mg/kg, i.p.) successfully inhibits transforming growth factor (TGF) β-Smad signal activation induced by partial hepatectomy. LSKL peptide successfully attenuates TGF-β-Smad signal activation by antagonizing TSP-1, but not by reducing TSP-1 protein expression. LSKL peptide accelerates hepatocyte proliferation after hepatectomy[3].
