Isolation of a novel bio-peptide from walnut residual protein inducing apoptosis and autophagy on cancer cells

Abstract

These results suggested that a novel bio-peptide, CTLEW inducing apoptosis and autophagy on MCF-7 cells can be released from walnut residual protein through papain hydrolyzing under the certain condition. The bio-peptide shows selective inhibition towards cancer cells growth and immunomodulatory activity.
