Cyclo(RADfK) is a selective α(v)β(3) integrin ligand that has been extensively used for research, therapy, and diagnosis of neoangiogenesis.
Cyclo(RADfK) is a negative control for the cyclo (-RGDfK-), the RGD peptide. RGD peptides are modulators of cell adhesion and are recognized by several members of the integrin family[1].
