![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
PBK is a Ser/Thr protein kinase. This enzyme is aberrantly over-expressed in several human cancers, including those of the breast and lung [3-4,6]. PBK has been suggested as a novel target in the search for treatments for cancers such as triple-negative breast cancer and drug-resistant cancers which do not respond to current estrogen receptor or EGF receptor HER2) targeting anti-cancer therapies. In addition to being upregulated in triple-negative breast cancers and being correlated with poor prognosis in these patients [1], PBK is also required for cancer cell mitosis [5] and is not expressed in vital organs. All of these factors support PBK as a potential molecular target for future cancer treatments. |
