LYS6K2 (1082949-67-4) is a selective inhibitor of the p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K).1 Blocks the phosphorylation of S6 at concentrations as low as 0.1-0.3 μM with no activity at GSK3β and Erk1/2 at 10 μM.2?LYS6K2 is a useful tool to dissect insulin receptor signaling pathways and was employed to show that the action of mTORC1 on SREB P-1c expression is not mediated by S6K.2?Cell permeable.
