Biological/Functional activity & target protein
Anticancer activity

The peptide EQRPR possess cancer growth inhibitory properties on colon, breast, lung and liver cancer cells. This peptide could serve as a nutraceutical agent against cancer. The pure peptide at 600–700 μg/mL dose caused 84% inhibition to colon cancer cells (Caco-2, HCT-116) growth, 80% to breast cancer cells (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231) growth and 84% to liver cancer cells (HepG-2) growth.
