Tumor Cell Membrane (via Secreted Phospholipase C/Lipases) (TCM-PLC/Lipases)

Target
TCM-PLC/Lipases
Molecular classification
Lipid Bilayer, Phospholipids, Enzymes, Phospholipase C (PLC), Lipases, Membrane Proteins
01

Overview

The tumor cell membrane is a dynamic structure critical for cancer cell survival and progression. It is characterized by altered lipid composition, overexpression of specific proteins, and reorganized membrane domains. Secreted phospholipase C (PLC) and other lipases can remodel the membrane and influence signaling pathways. Targeting the tumor cell membrane via these enzymes offers potential therapeutic advantages, including disruption of signaling, induction of immunogenic cell death, and overcoming drug resistance.
