[5-FAM]-RKOpep – Fluorescent Peptides

Peptide identified through phage display that binds to colorectal cancer cell line RKO cells, as well as other cancer cells including Caco-2, HCT 116 and HCT-15, but not to normal cells, possibly through targeting the monocarboxylate transporter 1, which has been implicated in colorectal cancer progression and prognosis. It contains 5-carboxyfluorescein (5-FAM), a widely used green fluorescent tag.
