Recently, it has been shown that 2,6-dihydroxypeperomone B extracted from plants can selectively bind covalently to Cys96 of CPT1A and disrupt the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane by affecting its formation of the VDAC1 complex, thereby inducing apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells [59]. The gene discussed is CPT1A; the disease is colorectal cancer.
