NAP, a Peptide Derived from the Activity-Dependent Neuroprotective Protein, Modulates Macrophage Function
NAP is an eight-amino acid neuroprotective peptide NAPVSIPQ; it is the smallest active element derived from the recently cloned activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP). NAP readily enters the brain from the blood. It will be important to learn whether NAP, in addition to its neuroprotective activity, also might influence immune-mediated inflammation.
