A novel copper-containing protein from brain.

abstract：:Ischemic neuronal injury is associated with several life- and vision-threatening diseases. Neuroprotection is essential in the treatment of these diseases. Here, we identified and characterized a novel peptide, FK18, from basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). We further assessed the neuroprotective effects of this pe...
