PROTAC FAK degrader 3

PROTAC FAK degrader 3 is a selective FAK PROTAC degrader (DC50 = 1.08 nM). PROTAC FAK degrader 3 induces FAK degradation dependent on the ubiquitin-proteasome system and its binding to FAK and CRBN. PROTAC FAK degrader 3 upregulates MHC-I gene transcription and tumor cell surface expression by inhibiting the non-catalytic activity of FAK, leading to increased antigen presentation and activation of cytotoxic CD8 T cells. PROTAC FAK degrader 3 enhances in vivo anti-tumor activity by promoting MHC-I expression and enhancing T cell activation. PROTAC FAK degrader 3 can be used in cancer research targeting FAK degradation in ovarian cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and other cancers.
