Ca2+ regulated binding agents

Abstract

Disclosed are binding agents that include (a) a calcium binding portion which includes an F-helix peptide and a calcium binding loop peptide derived from an EF-hand motif of a calcium binding protein, wherein the C-terminus of the F-helix peptide is covalently linked to the N-terminus of the calcium binding loop peptide by a peptide bond, and (b) a targeting peptide, wherein the N-terminus of the targeting peptide is covalently linked to the C-terminus of the calcium binding portion by a peptide bond. The binding agents can be used for diagnosis and treatment of various disorders.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
