GASC1 Targeted Library

GASC1 Targeted LibraryLysine-specific demethylase 4C (GASC1, KDM4C, JHDM3C, JMJD2C, TDRD14C, bA146B14.1) is a histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-36' residues of histone H3, thereby plays a central role in histone modification. Abnormal functioning of this epigenetic factor is associated with different cancers, including breast cancer. Targeted inhibition of GASC1 in cancer opens new avenues for therapeutic development.

EZH2 Targeted Library

EZH2 Targeted LibraryEnhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2, ENX-1, ENX1, EZH1, EZH2b, KMT6, KMT6A, WVS, WVS2, enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit) is a histone-lysine N-methyltransferase. This enzyme plays an important role in histone methylation and, ultimately, transcriptional repression.

Mutation or over-expression of EZH2 has been linked to many forms of cancer, including bladder, uterine, breast, prostate and renal cancers. EZH2 inhibits genes responsible for suppressing of tumor development, and blocking of it activity may slow tumor growth. Therefore, EZH2 is an attractive target for anti-cancer therapy.

S1PR1 Targeted Libraries

S1PR1 Targeted LibrariesSphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1, S1P receptor 1, S1P1, endothelial differentiation gene 1, EDG1) is a G-protein-coupled receptor which binds the bioactive signaling molecule sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). S1PR1 has an important role in regulating endothelial cell cytoskeletal structure, migration, vascular maturation and capillary-like network formation. Also S1PR1 signaling is important in the regulation of lymphocyte maturation, migration and trafficking. Abnormal functioning of S1PR1 is associated with cancer and multiple sclerosis. Agonists and antagonists of this receptor may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of such diseases.

Cathepsin K Targeted Library

Cathepsin K Targeted LibraryCathepsin K (CTSK, CTS02, CTSO, CTSO1, CTSO2, PKND, PYCD) is a lysosomal cysteine protease involved in bone remodeling and resorption. It has a major role in osteoporosis and other bone-related pathologies, cancer, diabetes, obesity and atherosclerosis. Cathepsin K inhibitors show great potential in the treatment of such diseases.

Renin Targeted Library

Renin Targeted LibraryThe Renin (REN, HNFJ2) is an aspartic protease (also known as an angiotensinogenase). It participates in arterial vasoconstriction and the body's renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) that mediates the volume of extracellular fluid (blood plasma, lymph and interstitial fluid). Thus, it regulates the body's mean arterial blood pressure. An over-active RAAS leads to vasoconstriction and retention of sodium and water. These effects cause hypertension. Therefore, renin inhibitors can be used for the treatment of hypertension.
