Trophoblast Cell Surface Antigen 2 (Trop-2)

Target
Trop-2
Molecular classification
Transmembrane glycoprotein, Receptor
01

Overview

Trop-2 antigen is a multifunctional membrane protein central to oncogenic processes across many solid tumors due to its roles in cellular signaling related to growth/proliferation/invasion/survival. Its restricted expression pattern outside malignant contexts makes it an ideal candidate for targeted therapies currently revolutionizing outcomes for patients with advanced cancers expressing this marker.
