Therapeutic Peptide/Protein Name Asparaginase
Sequence Elspar Sequence: QMSLQQELRYIEALSAIVETGQKMLEAGESALD view full sequnce in fasta
Functional Classification Ic
Molecular Weight 31731.9
Chemical Formula C1377H2208N382O442S17
Isoelectric Point 4.67
Hydrophobicity 0.059
Melting Point (℃) N.A.
Half Life 8-30 hours
Description L-asparagine amidohydrolase from E. coli
Indication/Disease To treat acute lympocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Pharmacodynamics In most patients with acute leukemia, the malignant cells are dependent on an exogenous source of asparagine for survival. Normal cells, however, are able to synthesize asparagine and thus are affected less by the rapid depletion produced by treatment with the enzyme asparaginase. Elspar exploits a metabolic defect in asparagine synthesis of some malignant cells.
Mechanism of Action Asparaginase converts asparagine to aspartic acid and ammonia. It facilitates production of oxalo-acetate which is needed for general cellular metabolism. Some malignant cells lose the ability to produce asparagine and thus the loss of exogenous sources of asparagine leads to cell death.
