Description

General description

A cell-permeable quinone compound that acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of Calcineurin-NFAT (Nuclear Factor of Activated T cells) signaling. Binds to calcineurin with high affinity (K_d = 800 nM), disrupts its interaction with NFAT and completely blocks its dephosphorylation, nuclear import of NFAT (~40 µM in C1.7W2 T cells), and induction of cytokine mRNAs. Unlike CsA (Cat. No. 239835) and FK506, INCA-6 does not affect calcineurin activity or its downstream signaling.

A cell-permeable, potent, and selective inhibitor of Calcineurin-NFAT (Nuclear Factor of Activated T cells) signaling. Binds to calcineurin with high affinity (K_d = 800 nM), disrupts its interaction with NFAT, and completely blocks calcineurin-dependent NFAT dephosphorylation, nuclear import (~40 µM in C1.7W2 T cells), and induction of NFAT-targeted cytokine mRNAs. Unlike CsA (Cat. No. 239835) and FK506, INCA-6 does not affect calcineurin activity or its downstream signaling.
