[peptide mimetic]
small peptides usually isolated from random peptide libraries displayed on filamentous phages that bind to and activate a receptor of cytokines in a fashion similar to the cytokine itself. The sequences of these peptides are not necessarily found in the primary sequences of the cytokines in question.
Such peptides have been described, among other things, for the Epo (erythropoietin) receptor (GGTYSCHFGPLTWVCKPQGG, termed EMP1 [EPO mimetic peptide 1]) (Livnah et al, 1996). Wrighton et al (1996) have identified Epo receptor mimetic peptide
