Description
GSK-J1 (1373422-53-7) is a potent and selective inhibitor of jumonji H3K27 histone demethylases JMJD3 and UTX (IC50 = 60 nM, human JMJD3). This is the first known inhibitor selective for the H3K27me3-specific JMJ subfamily which binds to the active catalytic site of the enzyme. The COOH group confers cell impermeability and as such GSK-J1 is useful as a standard in in vitro assays. A cell permeable ethyl ester analog is also available, see GSK-J4 (cat.# 10-1394).
Uses
GSK J1 is a selective and potent inhibitor of JMJDE and UTX demethylases.
Definition
ChEBI: 3-[[2-(2-pyridinyl)-6-(1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-3-benzazepin-3-yl)-4-pyrimidinyl]amino]propanoic acid is an organonitrogen heterocyclic compound.
Biochem/physiol Actions
GSK-J1 is also termed as 3-((6-(4,5-Dihydro-1H-benzo[d]azepin-3(2H)-yl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)propanoate. It may disturb the differentiation of specific neuronal subtypes in growing rat retina.
storage
