Cat. #: 157664
Tool sub type: Synthetic Peptide
Research Fields: Cancer;Cell biology
Alternate name: PL5, Bi-specific tenascin-C and fibronectin targeted peptide
Product description: Oncofetal fibronectin (FN-EDB) and tenascin-C C domain (TNC-C) are not present in the extracellular matrix of adult tissues but they are up-regulated in tumours and malignant tissues. Both have been used as targets for antibody-based therapies. This bi-specific peptide has enhanced affinity to bind to these receptor proteins so PL5 may be useful as an affinity ligand for delivery of diagnostic compound into solid tumours.
Function: Marker
Expression system: Synthetic
