NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable, small-molecule gamma secretase (GS) inhibitor with potential
antitumor activity. Gamma secretase inhibitor RO4929097 binds to GS and blocks activation
of Notch receptors, which may inhibit tumor cell proliferation. The integral membrane
protein GS is a multi-subunit protease complex that cleaves single-pass transmembrane
proteins, such as Notch receptors, at residues within their transmembrane domains.
Overexpression of the Notch signaling pathway has been correlated with increased tumor
cell growth.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of cancer. It blocks certain
enzymes that are needed for cell growth. This may slow the growth of cancer cells.
It may also decrease the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. It
is a type of gamma-secretase inhibitor and a type of Notch signaling inhibitor.;
