Description

General description

A cell-permeable, highly potent, selective, reversible, and ATP-competitive inhibitor of GSK-3α/β (IC₅₀ = 5 nM). Specificity was confirmed using various Cdk′s (IC₅₀ = 83 nM for Cdk5/p25, 300 nM for Cdk2/cyclin A, 320 nM for Cdk1/cyclin B, and 10 µM for Cdk4/cyclin D1), MAP kinases, PKA, PKC isoforms, PKG, CK, and IRTK (IC₅₀ ≥ 10 µM). Inhibition of GSK by BIO has been shown to result in the activation of the Wnt signaling pathway and sustained pluripotency of human and murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs).
