Description
Isofagomine tartrate (957230-65-8) is a competitive inhibitor of human lysosomal β-glucosidase, IC50?= 0.06 μM.1?Increases the activity of N370S mutant acid β-glucosidase (GlcCerase) in Gaucher fibroblasts.2?Displays a direct pharmacological chaperone effect greatly increasing the amount of newly synthesized GlcCerase that traffics out of the ER.2
