Anti-EpCAM-SPDB-DM4 ADC (CAT#: ADC-100LZY)

• Antibody Overview
• Chimeric Anti-EpCAM Antibody

• Linker
• SPDB (N-succinimidyl 4-(2-pyridyldithio)butyrate)

• Linker Class/Description
• Class: Chemically cleavable Linker-Disulfide Linker
  Description: Disulfide Linkers are extensively exploited as a chemically labile linkage. Since the release of disulfide-linked drugs requires a cytoplasmic thiol cofactor, such as glutathione (GSH). Disulfides maintain stable at physiological pH and only when ADCs are internalized inside cells, the cytosol provides reducing environment including intracellular enzyme protein disulfide isomerase, or similar enzymes, drugs can be released.

• Drug
• DM4(N2'-Deacetyl-N2'-(4-mercapto-4-methyl-1-oxopentyl)maytansine)

• Drug Class/Description
• Class: Maytansinoid
  Description: Maytansinoids are a group of cytotoxins structurally similar to rifamycin, geldanamycin, and ansatrienin. The eponymous natural cytotoxic agent maytansine is a 19-member lactam (ansa
  macrolide) structure originally isolated from the Ethiopian shrub Maytenus ovatus. Maytansinoids can bind to tubulin at or near the vinblastine-binding site, which interfere the formation of microtubules and depolymerize already formed microtubules, inducing mitotic arrest in the intoxicated cells

• Introduction
• This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
