Abstract: 
Peptides have fantastic functions like prions pathogens that cause transmissible diseases devoid of nucleic acid. Furthermore, because of their high specificity, peptides can be used in antitumor therapy to target specific targets. In this work we describe the in vitro antitumor action against B16F10 cells of a peptide named W12K obtained from immunoglobulin gene. As a result, we showed antitumor growing in experimental trials such as viability, migration, and cell cycle. In conclusion the present article describes a molecule from immunoglobulin with future potential for in vivo therapeutic test.
