Abstract excerpt
KRAS mutations are detected in numerous human cancers, but there are few effective drugs for KRAS-mutated cancers. Transporters for amino acids and glucose are highly expressed on cancer cells, possibly to maintain rapid cell growth and metabolism. Alanine-serine-cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2) is a primary transporter for glutamine in cancer cells. In this study, we developed a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb)...
