Extracellular targeted protein degradation (eTPD) systems typically utilize lysosome-targeting receptors (LTRs) to mediate internalization and lysosomal degradation of extracellular and membrane proteins. While multiple LTRs have been discovered, there remains a compelling need to seek for new LTRs, particularly those...
