1 Unfortunately, folic acid and folate-linked drugs bind equally well to both major isoforms of the FR-that is, FR-alpha, which is primarily expressed on malignant cells, and FR-beta, which is upregulated on activated monocytes and macrophages. Folic Acid rabaptin, RAB GTPase binding effector protein 2 Mus musculus

3 In an effort to develop a targeting ligand that can selectively deliver attached imaging and therapeutic agents to tumor cells, we constructed a reduced and alkylated form of folic acid, N(5), N(10)-dimethyl tetrahydrofolate (DMTHF) that exhibits selectivity for FR-alpha. Folic Acid rabaptin, RAB GTPase binding effector protein 2 Mus musculus
