Description
NSC-47924 (6638-24-0) is a potent inhibitor of the Leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatase (PHLPP) an enzyme which is a negative regulator of Akt and PKC (IC50=4 μM).1 Increases AKT signaling in cells and prevents apoptosis. Also inhibits the 67 kDa laminin receptor (LR) interaction with laminin (LM) and selectively blocks LR-293 cell adhesion to LM (IC50=19.35 μM) impairing cell migration and invasion.2 Affects 37/67 kDa LR cell surface localization and interaction with cellular prion protein.3
