Potent, selective TGF-βRI ALK5, ALK4, ALK7 inhibitor. Induces sheet formation, proliferation, differentiation of ESC-derived endothelial cells and replaces SOX2 in reprogramming protocols.3D growth matrix component and can be used in production of organoids.
Potent and selective transforming growth factor β type I receptor (TGF-βRI) actvin receptor-like kinase ALK5, ALK4 and ALK7 inhibitor (IC50 = 94 nM at ALK5).
Specifically inhibits Smad2/3 activation and blocks TGF-β signal transduction.
Maintains the undifferentiated state of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs).
Also induces sheet formation, proliferation, differentiation of ESC-derived endothelial cells.
It additionally can be used as a 3D growth matrix component and can be used in production of organoids (e.g. brain/ blood vessel organoids).
It can also be used to replace the SOX2 factor in reprogramming protocols.
