Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantitative Analysis of Hypothalamic Proline-Rich Peptide-1 in Blood Serum of Patients with Malignant TumorsNarine Tumasyan, Silva Abrahamyan, Nune Kocharyan et al.The proline-rich-peptides are a class of neurosecretory hypothalamic bioactive polypeptides derived from cattle and comprise the content of bovine posterior pituitary neurosecretory granules. These peptides are co-validated through a single precursor protein neurophysin-vasopressin-associated glycoprotein. Proline-Rich-Polypeptide-1 (PRP-1) is a 15-amino acid peptide with anti-neurodegenerative, immunoregulatory, hematopoietic, antimicrobial, and antitumor activity. The aim of this study, accordingly, is to elaborate an assay … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2025 · 2,283 accessesView PDFCite
