Technology & Business
|
LAT1 has been patented by J-Pharma. J-Pharma has developed a variety of LAT1-specific inhibitors which inhibit essential amino acids (i.e. like leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine and valine) uptake into cancer cells. LAT1 selective inhibition stimulates apoptosis of cancer cells via the so called 'starve-out' strategy, a specific LAT1-mediated cell signaling pathway. LAT1 is an Onco-fetal membrane protein highly expressed in transformed cancer cells. LAT1 is found in a few normal tissues like bone marrow, reproductive organs and brain. LAT2 is a homolog of LAT1 and expressed ubiquitously in normal tissues, but not expressed in cancer cells.
