Targeted Protein Degradation Technologies

Targeted Protein Degradation Technologies offers a comprehensive exploration of the field of targeted protein degradation, from its latest scientific advancements to its potential therapeutic applications. This book begins with a foundational introduction to the mechanisms of protein degradation, followed by an in-depth look at both protease-mediated and lysosome-mediated degradation pathways. The text delves into a range of cutting-edge technologies, including PROTAC, AbTAC, molecular glues, hydrophobic tagging, LYTAC, GlueTAC, and AUTAC. It then explores the development of degraders for specific proteins, such as signal transduction receptors, membrane proteins, and transcription factors. This book concludes with a focused discussion on the clinical applications of targeted protein degradation and provides an insight into the future directions for this field.

This book serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals in molecular biology, cell biology, and related disciplines, particularly those involved in protein degradation and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
