NCIt definition : A water-soluble, positively charged fusion protein consisting of a luteinizing hormone
releasing hormone (LHRH) receptor-targeting ligand conjugated to the membrane-disrupting
peptide CLIP 71 with membrane-disrupting and potential antineoplastic activities.
The LHRH ligand moiety of ucalolictide specifically binds to LHRH receptors, which
are upregulated on a variety of human cancer cell types. Subsequently, the positively
charged CLIP 71 moiety of this agent interacts with the negatively charged membrane
on the cancer cell surface, which may result in cell membrane disruption and cell
lysis.;
