Global  Proteasome Inhibitor Treatment Market 
 

Proteasome is an enzyme, which is a central component of protein degradation machinery in eukaryotic cells, both transformed and normal cells depend on the function of the proteasome to control the expression of proteins linked to cell survival and proliferation. Proteasome inhibitors block the action of proteasomes, thereby preventing the degradation of pro-apoptotic factors such as the p53 protein, permitting action of programmed cell death in neoplastic cells depending on the suppression of pro-apoptotic pathways. Proteasome inhibitors are used in the treatment of multiple myeloma, mantle-cell lymphoma, and Waldenstorm’s macroglobulinemia. Takeda Pharmaceutical, Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Celegene Corporation, Amgen, GSK, and Bristol-Myers Squibb are some of the major players in the market for proteasome inhibitors. Additionally, there are drug molecules in pipeline of various pharmaceutical companies for proteasome inhibitors.

Market Overview
Proteasome inhibitor treatment market is characterized by rapid growth due to the increasing prevalence of hematological cancers and the continuous advancement in drug development. Proteasome inhibitors have become crucial in managing multiple myeloma and other malignancies by disrupting protein degradation pathways essential for cancer cell survival. This market benefits from ongoing research, which is leading to the development of novel and more effective inhibitors.
