Custirsen
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Custirsen (OGX-011) is an antisense oligonucleotide that targets clusterin mRNA. Custirsen induces apoptosis by activating Bax, triggering mitochondrial translocation and cytochrome c release. Custirsen acts as a chemosensitizer, radiosensitizer and hormone sensitizer. Custirsen can be used in research related to prostate cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and metastatic breast cancer.
