Creative BioMart is a biotechnology company committed to
addressing the unmet needs of drug discovery for the treatment and
cure of human diseases that involve membrane proteins.
Membrane
proteins such as receptors and ion channels are key regulators
of cellular function. Membrane proteins account for up to two
thirds of known drugable targets, highlighting their critical
pharmaceutical importance.
One of the largest, most versatile group of membrane receptors,
the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), is also the most
pharmaceutically important, accounting for over 50% of all human
drug targets and acting as therapeutic targets for a wide range of
disease conditions including cancer, cardiovascular, metabolic, CNS
and inflammatory diseases.
Ion channels represent another group of important membrane
protein drug targets and account for the activity of 10% of the
currently marketed drugs.
