WGYRGFYC

WGYRGFYC (WC8) is a selective HER2-targeting peptide that binds specifically to HER2 by mimicking the antigen-binding site of trastuzumab. The DOTA precursor of WGYRGFYC has a K_D of 61.20 nM for HER2. WGYRGFYC enables specific and highly sensitive detection of HER2 expression in HER2-positive breast cancer cells and tumor tissues, and monitors the dynamic downregulation of HER2 expression. WGYRGFYC rapidly distributes to target tissues and is efficiently cleared from non-target tissues via the kidneys, generating an ideal tumor-to-background ratio in imaging; it is a component of the PET radiotracer Ga-DOTA-WC8. WGYRGFYC exhibits no significant cytotoxicity in breast cancer cells, and can be used for non-invasive imaging diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy evaluation of HER2-positive breast cancer.
