Targeted Protein Degradation
Selectively targeting proteins for removal from the cell, instead of inhibiting protein activity, is a newer modality for potential therapy. The protein is targeted for degradation using the cell’s natural ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). Compounds such as molecular glues and proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) initiate this process by linking the target protein to an E3 ligase. The cell’s UPS does the rest.
Promega offers a comprehensive selection of CRISPR-edited cell line pools and clones to facilitate studying popular protein degradation targets, using sensitive bioluminescence technology.
