    Product Description

    CHIR98014 is a reversible, cell-permeable inhibitor of GSK3α and GSK3β (IC50 = 0.65 and 0.58 nM, respectively).1 It is inactive against a series of other serine/threonine or tyrosine kinases.1 Through its effects on GSK3, CHIR98014 stimulates glycogen synthase in cells (EC50 = 106 nM), potentiates insulin-dependent glucose transport in isolated muscle strips, and improves glucose disposal in diabetic animals.1 CHIR98014 also reduces tau phosphorylation in rat brains and supports Wnt signaling during osteogenesis.2,3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
