 Use of Triethylene glycol


PROTAC Linker 25 is a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based PROTAC linker. PROTAC Linker 25 can be used in the synthesis of a series of PROTACs. PROTACs contain two different ligands connected by a linker; one is a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other is for the target protein. PROTACs exploit the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade target proteins[1].
