A 12-amino-acid midkine-derived peptide (KARYNAQCQETI) studied as a potential vital pulp therapy agent to promote reparative dentine formation.
Researchers carved a tiny 12–amino acid fragment from a tooth-development protein and found it promoted ‘reparative dentine’ formation in a rat pulp-capping model. Early, but a nice example of protein-to-peptide simplification.
