Claims5
A method of treating a hyperproliferative disease in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an isolated peptide into the subject, wherein said isolated peptide is less than 20 amino acids and comprises an amino acid sequence at least 70% homologous to the sequence as set forth by:
- (SEQ ID NO:
- 38)
- L D Q L N H I L G I L G X1 P X1 Q E D;
- wherein X1 is selected from the group consisting of Thr, Asp and Glu, the isolated peptide being capable of preventing ERK nuclear translocation, thereby treating the hyperproliferative disease.
