ADH-1 (Exherin) is a cyclic pentapeptide N-cadherin antagonist. ADH-1 binds to N-cadherin EC1-2 as an HAV mimetic, competitively blocks homophilic trans interactions, forms a stable protein-drug complex, and induces conformational rearrangement. ADH-1 targets tumor microvasculature, causing vascular injury and apoptosis. ADH-1 inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in mouse tumor models. ADH-1 can be used in cancer-related research.

Apoptosis

ADH-1 is a cyclic pentapeptide vascular targeting agent that competitively inhibits N-cadherin-mediated cell interactions, inducing tumor vascular dissolution and apoptosis^[1].

Others

ADH-1 directly binds recombinant human N-cadherin EC1-2mut, with the most probable unbinding force of 295 pN and a k_off of 14.6 s^-1^[3].
ADH-1 reduces the homophilic trans-dissociation frequency of N-cadherin EC1-2mut from 41.1% to 11.6%, inhibiting N-cadherin-N-cadherin interactions^[3].
ADH-1 binds N-cadherin EC1-2mut and alters the microenvironment around aromatic amino acids, reaching binding equilibrium at 175 s^[3].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
