additional information | design of an aminopeptidase P (APaseP) targeting tissue-specific construct conjugated to a homing peptide for selective binding to human breast-derived cancer cells. Homing peptides are short amino acid sequences derived from phage display libraries that have the unique property of localizing to specific organs. The molecular construct allows for tissue-specific drug delivery, by binding to APaseP in the vascular endothelium. The breast homing peptide is a cyclic nine-amino-acid peptide with the sequence CPGPEGAGC, referred to as PEGA. The PEGA peptide and similar peptide conjugates distribute to human breast tissue xenograft specifically and evaluate the interaction with the membrane-bound proline-specific APaseP by binding studies. In vivo localization of the breast tissue specific conjugate in a breast cancer xenograft mouse model, established by implanting enzyme-expressing human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7 in nude mice with estrogen supplementation | Homo sapiens |
