This peptide is derived from thrombospondin and represents a binding motif responsible for thrombospondin-CD36 interaction. It is cyclized through a disulfide bond. Thrombospondin is a matrix-bound glycoprotein involved in cancer metastasis, tumor adhesion, and angiogenesis. This peptide has been shown to competitively inhibit platelet aggregation and tumor metastasis.
