Background

Transporters

Sygnature Discovery’s advanced SLC Transporter assays are designed to identify small molecule modulators and accelerate transporter-targeted drug discovery.

Human Solute Carrier (SLC) transporters are essential proteins that regulate molecule and ion movement across cell membranes, supporting processes such as nutrient uptake, waste removal, and cell signalling. Their role in cellular balance makes them promising therapeutic targets, with dysfunction linked to cancers, CNS disorders, and metabolic diseases.

Laboratory setup with automated electrophysiology equipment and computer interface, representing custom study design for drug discovery including plate plans, screening cascades, and tailored protocols.

Sygnature Discovery’s target development group designs specialized assays precisely tailored to fit your unique discovery research needs.

Our extensive assay capabilities enable fluorescence-based screening assays and state-of-the-art transporter electrophysiology to support identification of novel starting points for lead optimization.

Working closely with your team, we customize assays to address project-specific challenges, delivering robust, reliable data that supports and enhances each stage of your drug discovery journey.
