Anti-EGFR-MC-VC-PABA-MMAE ADC (CAT#: ADC-038CL)

• Antibody Overview
• Humanized Anti-EGFR Antibody

• Linker
• MC-VC-PABC (maleimidocaproyl-valine-citrulline-p-aminobenzoyloxycarbonyl)

• Linker Class/Description
• Class: Enzymatically cleavable linkers-Peptide linkers
  Description: peptide linkers, belonging to Enzymatically cleavable linkers, combine greater systemic stability with rapid enzymatic release of the drug in the target cell. The scission of peptidic bonds relies on lysosomal proteolytic enzymes, which have very low activities in blood due to endogenous inhibitors and the unfavorably high pH value of blood.

• Drug
• MMAE (Monomethyl auristatin E)

• Drug Class/Description
• Class: Auristatin
  Description: Auristatins are water-soluble dolastatin analogs of dolastatin 10. Dolastatin 10 belongs to dolastatin family and it can powerfully bind to tubulin, thus inhibiting polymerization mediated through the binding to the vinca alkaloid binding domain, and causes cell to accumulate in metaphase arrest.

• Introduction
• The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the protein kinase superfamily. This protein is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. EGFR is a cell surface protein that binds to epidermal growth factor. Binding of the protein to a ligand induces receptor dimerization and tyrosine autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
