Abstract

The invention provides for synthetic ligands that bind to class I receptor tyrosine kinases. The ligands are analogous in structure to naturally occurring ligands. The modified ligands however, have eliminated the mid-sequence (B) domain present in the native ligands and replaced it with a peptide bridge which links the amino (A) and carboxy (C) domains.
