  • Taftsin

Scope note

  • N(2)-((1-(N(2)-L-Threonyl)-L-lysyl)-L-prolyl)-L-arginine. A tetrapeptide produced in the spleen by enzymatic cleavage of a leukophilic gamma-globulin. It stimulates the phagocytic activity of blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes and neutrophils in particular. The peptide is located in the Fd fragment of the gamma-globulin molecule.

History note

  • 84(75); was see under IMMUNOGLOBULINS, FD 1975-83; LEUKOKININ (with LEUCOKININ a see ref to it) was see under GAMMA GLOBULINS 1975-83; LEUKOKININ & LEUCOKININ were see TUFTSIN 1984-93
