Agents for inhibiting cancer metastasis are provided. The methods comprise administering to a patient an antimetastatic agent that comprises one or more of: (a) a peptide sequence that is at least 50% identical to an OB-cadherin CAR sequence; (b) a non-peptide mimetic of an OB-cadherin CAR sequence; (c) a substance, such as an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that specifically binds an OB-cadherin CAR sequence; and/or (d) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that comprises an OB-cadherin CAR sequence or analogue thereof.

Los agentes para la metástasis del cáncer que inhibe se proporcionan. Los métodos abarcan administrar a un paciente un agente antimetastatic de el cual abarque uno o más: (a) una secuencia del peptide que es por lo menos los 50% idénticos a una secuencia del COCHE de OB-cadherin; (b) un no-non-peptide mimetic de una secuencia del COCHE de OB-cadherin; (c) una sustancia, tal como un anticuerpo o un fragmento anti'geno-que ata de eso, que ata específicamente una secuencia del COCHE de OB-cadherin; y/o (d) un polynucleotide que codifica un polipéptido que abarca una secuencia del COCHE de OB-cadherin o un análogo de eso.
