Abstract
The invention features peptides that are fragments of the human insulin C-peptide, which peptides include the sequence ELGGGPGAG or a fragment thereof, or the sequence EGSLQ or a fragment thereof. The peptides have the ability to stimulate Na K ATPase activity. Also provided are biomimetic organic compounds exhibiting activation of Na K ATPase activity and/or cellular binding to renal tubule cells and fibroblasts. Such peptides and compounds are useful in combating diabetes and diabetic complications, or for stimulating Na K ATPase activity.
