An activator of the Raf-1 signalling pathway 1 mg

Description

The Rho family of small GTPases play an important role in transduction of cell signaling events associated with several human cancers. CCG-1423 is a specific inhibitor of Rho pathway-mediated signaling and activation of serum response factor (SRF) transcription.1 It inhibits SRF-driven luciferase expression in PC-3 cells following stimulation with constitutively active Gα13 with an IC50 value of 1 µM. The site of inhibition in the pathway is not precisely defined but CCG-1423 appears to act on some aspect of the interaction of SRF with its transcriptional cofactor megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) at a point upstream of DNA binding. CCG-1423 selectively inhibits DNA synthesis, proliferation and invasion of Rho-overexpressing cell lines at nanomolar to low micromolar concentrations.1WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
