Attenuation of muscle atrophy by an N-terminal peptide of the receptor for proteolysis-inducing factor (PIF)

BACKGROUND: Atrophy of skeletal muscle in cancer cachexia has been attributed to a tumour-produced highly glycosylated peptide called proteolysis-inducing factor (PIF). The action of PIF is mediated through a high-affinity membrane receptor in muscle. This study investigates the ability of peptides...
