Promega research published today in Nature Communications demonstrates a new potential approach for managing multiple myeloma and other hematological cancers.

Key Points: 
  • Promega research published today in Nature Communications demonstrates a new potential approach for managing multiple myeloma and other hematological cancers.
  • The molecule, called SJ3149, demonstrates potent anti-proliferative activity in a variety of human cancer cell lines through selective degradation of the cancer-causing protein CK1α.
  • They report that SJ3149 potently and selectively degrades CK1α and limits the proliferation of multiple cancer cell lines spanning a wide range of disease subtypes.
  • Their results strongly support future research on applying selective CK1α degraders to many different cancer types.
