    Product Description

    VO-OHpic is a specific inhibitor of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN; IC50 = 35 nM in vitro).1,2 Through this action, it increases cellular phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) levels, phosphorylation of Akt, and glucose uptake in adipocytes.1 In mice, VO-OHpic (10 µg/kg, i.p.) decreases left ventricular systolic pressure and heart rate and protects against ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial infarction.3 VO-OHpic also blocks the development of suppressor activity in regulatory T cells activated with indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase.4

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
