Mission Therapeutics to Present Abstract at American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2023
CAMBRIDGE, UK, 2 November 2023 – Mission Therapeutics (“Mission”), a clinical-stage biotech company developing first-in-class therapeutics targeting mitophagy, today announces that it will present an oral abstract on its experimental drug candidate MTX652 at the American Society of Nephrology’s Kidney Week in Philadelphia, from 2-5 November 2023.
Mission Therapeutics is a world leader in discovering and developing novel therapeutics which promote the removal of dysfunctional mitochondria to maintain cell health and function. MTX652 targets USP30, a deubiquitylating (DUB) enzyme uniquely localized to the mitochondria that removes ubiquitin groups and is a negative regulator of the PINK1/Parkin pathway and mitophagy. Mitophagy is a quality control system that ensures dysfunctional mitochondria are removed.
