    Product Description

    IWP-3 is an inhibitor of Wnt production that impairs Wnt pathway activity in vitro with an IC50 value of 40 nM.1 IWP-3 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-3 has been shown to block Wnt-dependent phosphorylation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) and the scaffold protein Dishevelled, preventing the accumulation of β-catenin.1 By inhibiting Wnt signaling, IWP-3 has been used to promote cardiomyocyte generation from human embryonic stem cells (EC50 = 1.2 μM).2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
