PDK1 BINDING MOLECULES AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that PDK1 is associated with the outer plasma membrane of the cell. Accordingly, the present invention encompasses 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) binding molecules, such as an antibody. The binding molecules of the invention are useful for detecting PDK1 and for inhibiting PDK1 activity, e.g., in a human subject having a disorder in which PDK1 activity is detrimental, such as a cancer.
