    CD13 is a type 2 integral membrane zinc-dependent metalloprotease belonging to the M1 family.1-2 CD13 is composed of 7 domains.1 Domain 1 consists of the short N-terminal region of CD13 which resides on the cytoplasm whereas domain 2 is the transmembrane part.1 The other five form the extracellular region of CD13. The extracellular domains 5 and 6 are responsible for the catalytic activity and zinc binding.1 Through domain 7, CD13 forms homodimers.2 In addition, CD13 also exists in a soluble form.3

  • GENE_NAME : CD13

    CD_NAME : CD13

    CD13 is a zinc-dependent metalloendoprotease which cleaves several active peptides and therefore participates in different biological processes. Among them, CD13 participates in antigen presentation1, chemotaxis2, cell growth3-4 and cell differentiation.5

    CD13 is also involved in cell motility6-7, cholesterol uptake8, angiogenesis6-9, cell adhesion10-11, phagocytosis12-13, TLR4 signaling14 and mast cell activation.15

    Therapeutic

    Inhibitors of CD13 activity display a potential therapeutic effect. Ubenimex, for example, has been tested in hematologic malignancies and other cancers, lymphedema and pulmonary arterial hypertension.1-3 It has been awarded the Orphan Designation for pulmonary arterial hypertension by the FDA and EMA. Furthermore, in Japan, it has been approved for the treatment of acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. Tosedostat, another inhibitor of CD13, is also being tested in the area of cancer.3

    Furthermore, CD13 has been studied for drug delivery in the context of oncology. For instance, NGR-hTNF and NGR-tTF are two fusion proteins which use the NGR peptide, a motif that binds to CD13, to deliver drugs to tumors and their blood vessels. These compounds are currently being tested in several cancers including mesothelioma, small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer.4-8

    Another CD13 therapeutic strategy consists of using CD13 enzymatic activity for prodrug cleavage. This is the case of melflufen, the prodrug of the chemotherapeutic agent melphalan, which is being studied for treatment of multiple myeloma.9
