CR011 Kappa Light Chain, Dimer (221-221'':222-222'':225-225'':228- 228'')-Tetrakis;
NCIt definition : A human monoclonal antibody against transmembrane glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma
protein B (GPNMB). Glembatumumab binds to GPNMB on cancer cells, but alone does not
appear to inhibit cancer cell growth. However, this antibody could be utilized to
deliver a conjugated cytotoxic agent to GPNMB-expressing tumor cells. GPNMB, overexpressed
on the surface of various cancer cells, plays a key role in cancer cell proliferation.;
