Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Asp-Val (KQAGDV) is the six most carboxyl-terminal amino acids in the fibrinogen γ-chain sequence. Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Asp-Val is a cell adhesion peptide which is mediated through the α2bβ3 integrin. Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Asp-Val is a potent adhesion ligand for smooth muscle cells (SMCs)[1][2].

ChEBI: Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Asp-Val is an oligopeptide.

Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Asp-Val (KQAGDV) is a cell adhesion peptide used to study adhesion of platelets to neutrophils via the integrin glycoproteins gpIIb/IIIa.
