Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) is a ubiquitous membrane receptor functioning as a scavenger and regulatory receptor, inducing anti-inflammatory and prosurvival signals. Based on the known structure-activity of the LRP1 receptor binding site, the authors synthesized a small peptide (SP16). SP16 induced a >50% reduction in infarct size (p < 0.001) and preservation of left ventricular systolic function (p < 0.001), and treatment with an LRP1 blocking antibody eliminated t ...[more]
