This ADC product is comprised of an anti-FOLR1 monoclonal antibody conjugated via a linker to DGN462. The DGN462 is targeted to certain cancers by immunerecognition and delivered into cancer cells via receptor mediated endocytosis.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the folate receptor family. Members of this gene family bind folic acid and its reduced derivatives, and transport 5-methyltetrahydrofolate into cells. This gene product is a secreted protein that either anchors to membranes via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol linkage or exists in a soluble form. Mutations in this gene have been associated with neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency. Due to the presence of two promoters, multiple transcription start sites, and alternative splicing, multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
