A 83-01 is an inhibitor of TGF-β type I receptor kinase (ALK5), activin type IB receptor (ALK4), and nodal type I receptor (ALK7) (IC50s = 12, 45, and 7.5 nM, respectively).1 It blocks the phosphorylation of SMAD2/3 and inhibits TGF-β-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.1 It has little effect on bone morphogenic type I receptors, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, or ERK.1 A 83-01 has been used to reprogram fibroblasts into alternative lineages, including neural stem cells and cardiomyocytes.2,3 This product is also available as part of Cayman's Hepatocyte Differentiation Reagent Kit (Item No. 44737),
