Abstract:The binding promiscuity of proteins defines their ability to indiscriminately bind multiple unrelated molecules. Binding promiscuity is implicated, at least in part, in the off-target reactivity, non-specific biodistribution, immunogenicity and/or short half-life of potentially efficacious protein drugs, thus affecting their clinical use. In this review, we discuss the current evidence for the binding promiscuity of factor VIII (FVIII), a protein used for the treatment of hemophilia A, which cumulates poor pha… Show more
