Description
ETTAC-2 is a LRG1 PROTAC degrader, degrading LRG1 via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway with a DC50 value of 8.38 µM. ETTAC-2 penetrates damaged renal cells to reduce the extracellular secretion of LRG1. ETTAC-2 effectively inhibits the TGF-β-Smad3 signaling pathway and diminishes the secretion of fibrosis-associated extracellular matrix proteins. ETTAC-2 degrades LRG1 within fibrotic kidneys and the efficacy in inhibiting the TGF-β-Smad3 pathway both in vitro and vivo. ETTAC-2 can be used for renal fibrosis research[1]
