Abstract

Abstract A polypeptide which can bind heparin and promote cellular adhesion and neurite outgrowth is provided of the formula: lys-asn-asn-gln-lys-ser-glu-pro-leu-ile-gly-arg-lys-lys-thr, leu-ile-gly-arg-lys-lys-thr, tyr-arg-val-arg-val-thr-pro-lys-glu-lys-thr-gly-pro-met-lys-glu, ser-pro-pro-arg-arg-ala-arg-val-thr, trp-gly-pro-pro-arg-ala-arg-ile, or mixtures thereof. Medical devices such as prosthetic implants, percutaneous devices and cell culture substrates coated with the polypeptide composition are also provided.
