LAT1, or l-type amino acid transporter 1, is a membrane protein that transports large amino acids, and it has been found to be over-expressed in many cancer cells. This is why researchers believe that inhibiting the function of LAT1 could be useful in the treatment of various cancers. In breast and prostate cancer, expression of LAT1 has also been associated with a weaker prognosis of survival. Currently, an LAT1 inhibitor developed in Japan, JPH20… 更多Boost cancer treatment with new LAT1 inhibitor

Currently, an LAT1 inhibitor developed in Japan, JPH203, has proceeded to clinical trials.
