More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to a ferritin nanocage for multi-displaying a TRAIL trimer and a cancer-targeting peptide, and use thereof as an anticancer agent, and relates to the development of a TRAIL fusion nanoprotein, in which TRAIL with a trimer structure is conjugated to a human ferritin monomer fragment, and which exhibits enhanced cancer targeting using a cancer-targeting peptide. When injected into a blood vessel, the fusion protein according to the present invention effectively targets cancer and thus effectively leads to cancer death caused by TRAIL, wherein the fusion nanoprotein addresses the instability and off-targeting problems of TRAIL proteins, stably delivers a TRAIL trimer to cancer tissue, and thus there is a high possibility of developing an anticancer agent using same.
