Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a catalytic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). EZH2 drives oncogenesis not only in a canonical H3K27me3-dependent manner but also through non-canonical…
PROteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) regulate protein function by degrading target proteins instead of inhibiting them, providing more sensitivity to drug-resistant targets. PROTACs show better selectivity compared to classic inhibitors. PRTOACs…
The FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) is a ubiquitous abundant protein that acts as a receptor for the immunosuppressant drug FK506l FK506 binds tightly to intracellular calcium release channels and to…
Focal adhesion tyrosine kinase (PTK2) is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase. PTK2 plays an important role in adhesion, spreading, motility, invasion, metastasis, survival, angiogenesis, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, cancer stem…
BRD4 is a member of the BET family of proteins (BRD2, 3, 4, and T). It functions as an epigenetic “reader” of acetylated histone lysine residues via its two bromodomain…
Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) work by inducing selective intracellular proteolysis rather than acting as a conventional enzyme inhibitor. Besides, PROTACs consists of two covalently linked protein-binding molecules. One can engage…
PROTAC is an emerging therapeutic modality. PROTAC is a feasible solution to reduce platelet toxicity associated with BCL-XL inhibition. BCL-XL plays a key role in tumorigenesis and cancer chemotherapy resistance.…
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase. ALK is an attractive target for cancer therapies not only for its prominent role in a number of malignancies but also…
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase and its mutation in domains. ALK Chromosomal translocations involve the kinase domain of ALK in many cancers. In addition to ALCL,…
DDB1-CUL4-associated protein 16 (DCAF16) is a 216 aa protein that is highly conserved across mammals, but absent from rodents. The DCAF16 protein has eight cysteine residues, including a cluster of…
