    Product Description

    IWP-2 is an inhibitor of Wnt production that impairs Wnt pathway activity in vitro with an IC50 value of 27 nM.1 IWP-2 inactivates Porcupine, a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase responsible for palmitoylating Wnt proteins, which is essential for their signaling ability and secretion.1 At 5 μM, IWP-2 has been shown to block Wnt-dependent phosphorylation of the frizzled co-receptor and the scaffold protein Dishevelled, preventing the accumulation of β-catenin.1 This compound has been used to suppress embryonic stem cell self-renewal and to decrease cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.2,3 This product is also available as part of Cayman's Hepatocyte Maintenance Reagent Kit (Item No. 44676).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
