isoleucyl-lysyl-valyl-alanyl-valine

H-Ile-Lys-Val-Ala-Val-OH is one of the most potent active sites of laminin-1. H-Ile-Lys-Val-Ala-Val-OH promotes cell adhesion, neurite outgrowth, and tumor growth. H-Ile-Lys-Val-Ala-Val-OH stimulates BMMSC population growth and proliferation by activating MAPK/ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt signalling pathways[1][2].
