# RTK Inhibitor Library: A Comprehensive Collection for Targeted Kinase Research
Introduction to RTK Inhibitor Library
The RTK Inhibitor Library is a meticulously curated collection of small molecules designed to target receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). These inhibitors play a pivotal role in modern drug discovery and biomedical research, offering researchers a powerful tool to study kinase signaling pathways and develop potential therapeutics for various diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and metabolic disorders.
Understanding Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs)
Receptor tyrosine kinases are a subclass of cell surface receptors that possess intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. They are crucial for:
- Cellular proliferation
- Differentiation
- Metabolism
- Cell survival
When dysregulated, RTKs can contribute to numerous pathological conditions, making them attractive targets for therapeutic intervention.
