Folate-PEG3-NHS Ester
Description:
Folate-PEG3-NHS Ester is a linker designed for targeted drug delivery to cells with folate receptors, which are often overexpressed in certain cancers. It combines folic acid for targeting, a PEG3 spacer to enhance solubility, and an NHS ester group that easily attaches to amines on proteins and other biomolecules.
Key Features:
- Folic Acid Targeting: Binds to folate receptors, enabling selective delivery to specific cells.
- PEG3 Spacer: Improves water solubility and reduces crowding for smoother interactions.
- NHS Ester Activation: Attaches securely to primary amines, ideal for stable labeling.
Applications:
- Targeted Drug Delivery: Links therapeutic agents for precise delivery to folate receptor-positive cells.
- Bioconjugation: Allows efficient attachment of biomolecules for diagnostics or therapies.
- Cancer Research: Useful in developing treatments targeting folate-expressing cancer cells.
Storage:
Keep in a cool, dry, dark place to preserve stability.
Folate-PEG-NHS Ester is valuable in cancer research and targeted therapies, offering precise delivery to specific cells and reliable bioconjugation capabilities.
