[tumor cell targeting peptide-1] This peptide with the sequence GACLRSGRGCG has been identified by phage display as a peptide targeting the matric metalloporteinase MMP-9. The peptide and derivatives thereof have been shown to act as cell-targeting peptides, allowing imaging of tumors that overexpress MMP-9, such as melanoma, and may also be of value in therapeutic applications (Ujula et al, 2010).
