Anti-PVRL4 (Enfortumab vedotin)-MC-Vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA ADC
Anti-PVRL4 (Enfortumab vedotin)-MC-Vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)-duocarmycin SA ADC (ADC-W-2401)
This ADC product is comprised of an anti-PVRL4 monoclonal antibody conjugated via a MC-Vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2) linker to duocarmycin SA. The duocarmycin SA is targeted to certain cancers by immunerecognition and delivered into cancer cells via receptor mediated endocytosis. Within the cell, duocarmycin SA binds to DNA, causes DNA damage.
This gene encodes a member of the nectin family. The encoded protein contains two immunoglobulin-like (Ig-like) C2-type domains and one Ig-like V-type domain. It is involved in cell adhesion through trans-homophilic and -heterophilic interactions. It is a single-pass type I membrane protein. The soluble form is produced by proteolytic cleavage at the cell surface by the metalloproteinase ADAM17/TACE. The secreted form is found in both breast tumor cell lines and breast tumor patients. Mutations in this gene are the cause of ectodermal dysplasia-syndactyly syndrome type 1, an autosomal recessive disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found but the full-length nature of the variant has not been determined.
ADC Antibody
Overview
Human Anti-PVRL4 IgG1-kappa antibody, Enfortumab vedotin
Generic name
Enfortumab vedotin
Host animal
Human
ADC Linker
Name
MC-Vc-PAB-DMEA-(PEG2)
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.
ADC payload drug
Name
duocarmycin SA
Description
Duocarmycins SA belong to the minor-groove-binding DNA-alkylating agents (DNA MGBA). The natural duocarmycins are isolated from the culture broth of Streptmyces sp and a series of derivatives has also been synthesized.
