Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor 34-mer Peptide Prevents Liver Fibrosis and Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation through Down-Regulation of the PDGF Receptor

Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) has been shown previously to prevent liver fibrosis and hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation. By investigating the functional domains in PEDF, we identified a 34-mer peptide (residues Asp44-Asn77) that harbors the same function as the full-length PEDF prote...
