Description
Go-6983 (133053-19-7) potent and pan-specific, ATP-competitive protein kinase C inhibitor. PKC isotype IC50s= 7, 7, 6, 10 and 60 nM for PKC α, β, γ, δ, ζ respectively.1 Suppresses stress induced HSP27 disassociation.2 Maintains rat embryonic stem cell pluripotency.3 Attenuates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.4
Uses
Go 6983, is a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor.Potent PKC Inhibitor
Uses
GO6983 has been used as a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor to study its effects on the nuclear import. It has also been used as a supplement in Fc medium to culture mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells on mitomycin C treated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).
Definition
ChEBI: 3-[1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-5-methoxy-3-indolyl]-4-(1H-indol-3-yl)pyrrole-2,5-dione is a member of indoles and a member of maleimides.
Biological Activity
Broad spectrum protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor (IC 50 values are 7, 7, 6, 10, 60 and 20000 nM for PKC α , PKC β , PKC γ , PKC δ , PKC ζ and PKC μ respectively). Displays cardioprotective properties; reduces polymorphonuclear leukocyte adherence and infiltration following myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor that selectively inhibits several PKC isozymes (IC50 = 7 nM for PKCα and PKCβ; 6 nM for PKCγ; 10 nM for PKCδ; and 60 nM for PKCζ), but does not inhibit PKCμ (IC50 = 20 mM).
