Biological Data

Biological description

p53-mitochondrial binding inhibitor which inhibits p53-mediated apoptosis. Also a HSP70 inhibitor. Supresses embroynic stem cell (eSC) self renewal.

By silencing p53, it may also increase human somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) reprogramming efficiency.
