Cathepsin B in the lysosome cleaves the peptide bond between Cit-PAB of dipeptide linkers containing valine (Val)-citrulline (Cit) and p-aminobenzylalcohol (PAB). When PAB and a drug are binded covalently with carbamate bonds, the drug can be released by hydrolysis after cleavage of the peptide bond between Cit-PAB. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has been developed using this mechanism.
Products
Advantages
