Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have shown that the proliferation of some tumor cells is dependent on autocrine growth loops that require amidated autocrine growth factors. Peptidylglycine alpha-monooxygenase (PAM) is required for amidation of these growth factors and, therefore, this enzyme is an attractive target for anti-tumor compounds. 4-Phenyl-3-butenoic acid (PBA) is an irreversible turnover-dependent inhibitor of PAM in...
