Functions
A potent and selective inhibitor of Cdc25 phosphatase (Ki = 32, 96 and 40 nM for Cdc25A, B and C respectively). NSC-95397 inhibits the growth of several human tumor cell lines and blocks G2/M cell cycle transition. Induces cell cycle arrest, phosphorylation of EGFR and activation of ERK-1 and -2. Inhibits carboxyl-terminal binding protein a transcriptional corepressor that suppresses multiple pro-apoptotic and epithelial genes. Induces eryptosis in human erythrocytes.
Application Procedures
First dissolved in DMSO (up to 15 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to 1 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or ethanol may be stored at -20°C for up to 1 month.
