General description

A cell-permeable aminopyrimidine compound that acts as potent, ATP-competitive, and highly selective GSK-3 inhibitor (IC50 = 10 and 6.7 nM against GSK-3α and GSK-3β, respectively). Exhibits little or no activity toward 46 other enzymes (IC50 >8.8 µM against 20 kinases and Ki ≥5 µM against 23 non-kinase enzymes) and shows only weak binding to 22 pharmacologically relevant receptors (Kd ~4 µM). This compound is orally available and is shown to effectively improve glucose metabolism in both murine and rat type 2 diabetes models in vivo. The solid form of this compound (Cat. No. 361559) is also available.

Each mammalian autosomal gene is represented by two alleles in diploid cells. To our knowledge, no insights have been made in regard to allele-specific regulatory mechanisms of autosomes. Here we use allele-specific single cell transcriptomic analysis to elucidate the establishment

Post-implantation mammalian embryogenesis involves profound molecular, cellular, and morphogenetic changes. The study of these highly dynamic processes is complicated by the limited accessibility of in utero development. In recent years, several complementary in vitro systems comprising self-organized assemblies of mouse

Wnt signaling plays important roles in development, homeostasis, and tumorigenesis. Mutations in β-catenin that activate Wnt signaling have been found in colorectal and hepatocellular carcinomas. However, the dynamics of wild-type and mutant forms of β-catenin are not fully understood. Here

The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a highly conserved, frequently mutated developmental and cancer pathway. Its output is defined mainly by β-catenin's phosphorylation- and ubiquitylation-dependent proteasomal degradation, initiated by the multi-protein β-catenin destruction complex. The precise mechanisms underlying destruction complex function have
