Application

RK-682 has been used:
  • as a positive control in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
  • as a reference compound in high-performance liqiud chromatography (HPLC)
  • as a pan-protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type (PTPN) inhibitor to study its effects on the activated lymphocytes

Biochem/physiol Actions

RK-682 is a specific and noncompetitive inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase; It inhibited dephosphorylation activity of CD45 and VHR with IC50 54 and 2.0 microM and 4.5 microM against PTP1B.
Specific and noncompetitive inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase.

Phosphoprotein Phosphatases (Tyrosine)

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and related enzymes (more than a hundred coded by the human genome) are more numerous than serine/threonine phosphatases. They belong to four families, three of which possess a conserved cysteine for catalysis and some conserved features of 3-dimensional structure. The catalytic mechanism of these PTPs involves the transient formation of a covalently phosphorylated enzyme.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
