Until recently, the only ways' to, reduce specific. protein signaling were to either knock down the target by RNAi or to interfere with the signaling by inhibiting an enzyme or receptor within the signal transduction cascade. Herein, we review an,emerging class small Molecule pharmacological agents, called PROTACs, that present a novel approach to specifically target proteins and their respective signaling pathways. These heterobifunctional molecules utilize endogenous cellular quality control machinery by recruiting it to target proteins in order to induce their degradation.
