Description
The extracellular signal-
regulated kinase (ERK) signal transduction pathway regulates a diverse array of cellular processes. These processes include cell survival, proliferation, motility, and differentiation and are constitutively activated in cancers involving lung, colon, pancreas, kidney, and ovary.
1 CAY10561 is a potent, ATP-
competitive inhibitor of ERK2 (K
i = 2 nM).
2 This compound is highly selective for ERK2 compared to other kinases such as PKA (K
i = 0.39 μM) and JNK3 (K
i = 4 μM).
2 CAY10561 inhibits proliferation of COLO 205 cells with an IC
50 value of 0.54 μM.
