Application

CHIR 98014 has been used for the generation of small molecules neural progenitor cells and differentiation towards motor neurons. It has also been used as a Wnt/β-catenin pharmacological agonist in the cell-conditioned medium to perform chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) studies in HT22 neurons.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CHIR 98014 is a glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.65 nM and 0.58 nM for GSK3α and GSK3β, respectively. CHIR98014 is 500-fold to >10,000-fold selectivity for GSK-3 versus 20 other protein kinases tested, including closest homologs Cdc2 and ERK2.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute in DMSO at 0.5 mg/mL. Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at -20°C.

Storage and Stability

The product in the original sealed container is quite stable. It should be stored at −20°C in the powdered format.

eLife, 9 (2020-12-18)
WNT proteins are secreted symmetry breaking signals that interact with cell surface receptors of the FZD family to regulate a multitude of developmental processes. Studying selectivity between WNTs and FZDs has been hampered by the paucity of purified WNT proteins

Autophagy, 15(4), 631-651 (2018-10-20)
Macroautophagy/autophagy, a defense mechanism against aberrant stresses, in neurons counteracts aggregate-prone misfolded protein toxicity. Autophagy induction might be beneficial in neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). The natural compound trehalose promotes autophagy via TFEB (transcription factor EB), ameliorating disease phenotype in multiple ND
