Application

This is a cathepsin cleavable linker used in the construction of antibody drug conjugates (ADC & Bioconjugation).

Features and Benefits

Val-Cit-OH is a cleavable ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC). The Val-Cit is specifically cleaved by cathepsin B. The Boc group can be deprotected under acidic conditions to generate a free amine group. As this enzyme is only present in the lysosome the ADC payload will be release only in the cell.
