Membrane Proteins are Major Drug Targets in Disease Treatment

More than 90% of the targets of therapeutic antibody drugs or immunotherapies are membrane proteins (MPs);

There are about 7,000 known MPs in the human body. The vast majority have not yet been thoroughly studied. Even so, more than 60% of FDA-approved drugs target MPs;

From 2013 to 2022, the market size of drugs targeting MPs grew to account for over 50% of that of blockbuster drugs;

It is expected that, in the future, drugs targeting MPs will usher in more breakthroughs in cancer treatments, autoimmunity diseases, pain management, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease treatments;
