Described have herein are peptide analogs of a prominin-1 peptide, DRVQRQTTTVVA (SEQ. ID. NO:1) which have enhanced regenerative and/or angiogenesis activity, increase VEGF binding to endothelial cells, and/or increase wound healing activity relative to the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1. Provided herein are fusion proteins and compositions comprising these peptide analogs and uses thereof.

Pro-angiogenic fragments of prominin-1 and uses thereof

Described herein are peptide compositions of a prominin-1, which have regenerative activity. As such the peptides are useful when regeneration is needed, for example, to enhance angiogenesis, increase VEGF binding to endothelial cells, promote vasodilation, enhance cell migration, enhance cell proliferation, stimulate neuronal growth, prevent neurodegeneration, and/or promote neuroregeneration.
