SAN DIEGO, March 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- aTyr Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIFE), a biotherapeutics company engaged in the discovery and development of first-in-class medicines from its proprietary tRNA synthetase platform, today announced that Leslie A. Nangle, Ph.D., Vice President, Research, will present findings from its platform in an oral presentation and poster at the Keystone Symposia on Fibrosis Pathogenesis and Resolution: From Mechanisms to Therapies, which is scheduled to take place March 19 – 23 in Banff, Alberta, Canada.

Key Points: 
  • ATYR0101 was found to bind to human fibroblasts and extracellular matrix deposited by fibroblasts via novel binding of latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 1 (LTBP1).
  • LTBP1 is an extracellular matrix protein and key regulator of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), a central player in the pathogenesis of fibrotic diseases.
  • aTyr’s research and development efforts are concentrated on a newly discovered area of biology, the extracellular functionality and signaling pathways of tRNA synthetases.
  • aTyr has built a global intellectual property estate directed to a potential pipeline of protein compositions derived from 20 tRNA synthetase genes and their extracellular targets.
