Preferred Label : 5-FITC-labeled GI-heptapeptide;
NCIt synonyms : 5-FITC-labeled 7-AA Peptide; Ala1-Ser2-Tyr3-Asn4-Tyr5-Asp6-Ala7-Gly8- Gly9-Gly10-Ser11-Lys12 (5-FITC) -NH213;
NCIt definition : A radioconjugate consisting of the 7 amino acid peptide sequence ASYNYDA (GI heptapeptide)
and labeled with the fluorescent dye fluorescein isothiocyanate (5-FITC), with potential
imaging activity. Upon topical application to the esophageal mucosa using a spray,
the heptapeptide moiety of 5-FITC-labeled GI-heptapeptide binds to abnormal cells
in the esophagus; the FITC moiety allows for imaging with white light and the area
of interest for biopsies can then be visualized.;
