Preferred Label : Fluorescence Imaging Agent EMI-137;
NCIt related terms : EMI-137;
NCIt definition : A water-soluble compound composed of a 26-amino acid cyclic peptide targeting the
human hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-MET) conjugated to a cyanine-based fluorescent
dye, with potential fluorescent imaging activity. Upon administration of EMI-137,
the peptide moiety specifically targets and binds to the human tyrosine kinase receptor
c-Met, which is often overexpressed on cancer cells. Upon imaging, the cancer cells
can be visualized.;
