GT-002
GT-002 is a partial positive allosteric modulator targeting the α3 subtype of GABAA receptors, as well as a specific binder of tumor-associated TF-glycosylated LYPD3. GT-002 mildly enhances GABA-induced chloride currents by binding to the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors, thereby alleviating prefrontal hypofunction and improving cognitive, memory and social interaction abilities. GT-002 can be used in research related to schizophrenia spectrum disorders, various squamous cell carcinomas, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency.

Biological Activity
Human
GT-002 binds with high affinity to the GABAA receptor benzodiazepine site (Ki = 0.57 nM, IC50 = 0.68 nM), shows minimal off-target binding to the dopamine transporter, and acts as a partial positive allosteric modulator inducing only 10-20% of the Cl− current activation of diazepam[1].
GT-002 specifically binds the tumor-associated protein/carbohydrate combined epitope on LYPD3 in ELISA, with no binding to non-glycosylated LYPD3 or the target carbohydrate on unrelated proteins[2].
GT-002 (10-3-104 ng/mL; 1.5 h) specifically binds to a combined TF-LYPD3 glycopeptide epitope, with an EC50 of 5.5 ng/mL for TF-carrying recombinant LYPD3, and does not bind non-glycosylated LYPD3, Tn-carrying LYPD3, sialylated LYPD3, or irrelevant TF-carrying glycoproteins[3].
GT-002 (10 μg/mL; 30 min at 4°C) binds specifically to cell surface-expressed TF-glycosylated LYPD3 on LYPD3-F9 recombinant cells and neuraminidase-treated LYPD3-positive CaOV-3 and ZR-75-1 tumor cells, but not to non-glycosylated LYPD3, LYPD3-negative tumor cells, or untreated LYPD3-positive tumor cells[3].
GT-002 (10 μg/mL; overnight/incubation) binds to TF-glycosylated LYPD3 in a range of human SCC tumor tissues, and shows highly restricted binding to normal human tissues (only skin epidermis), with normal tissue binding re-established by neuraminidase treatment due to sialic acid masking of its epitope[3].
