sor-c13

SOR-C13 is an inhibitor of transient receptor potential cation channel vanilloid family member 6 (TRPV6, CaT1 or CATL) with potential antineoplastic activity. TRPV6 calcium channel inhibitor SOR-C13 binds to TRPV6 and prevents the influx of calcium ions into TRPV6-expressing tumor cells. This inhibits the activation of nuclear factor of activated T-cell (NFAT) transcription complex which may result in an inhibition of calcium-dependent cancer cell proliferation and an induction of apoptosis in tumor cells overexpressing TRPV6.

SOR-C13 TFA, a truncated carboxy-terminal peptide, serves as a potent TRPV6 antagonist, demonstrating high affinity with an IC 50 value of 14 nM. TRPV6, a non-voltage-gated calcium channel linked to malignancy and poor prognosis in breast cancer, is effectively targeted by SOR-C13 TFA, indicating its anticancer activity [1].
