Synonyms: GSK-1223249 | GSK1223249
Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Ozanezumab is a humanised mouse monoclonal antibody targeting NOGO-A (reticulon-4, RTN4). This antibody is in GlaxoSmithKline's development pipeline of drugs for rare diseases, in this case amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS aka motor neurone disease or MND) and was also investigated for multiple sclerosis (MS).
Although peptide sequences for ozanezumab are available, a BLAST search provided no exact matches with patented protein sequences
