Biological Activity:
IWP-2 is a potent and highly selective Wnt signaling antagonist with an IC50~ 27 nM in the L-Wnt-STF cellular assay. It prevents palmitoylation of Wnt proteins by Porcupine (a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase), thereby blocking Wnt protein secretion and activity. It blocks Wnt-dependent phosphorylation of Lrp6 receptor and Dvl2, and β-catenin accumulation. IWP-2 is a useful chemical probe in both regenerative medicine and anticancer efforts.
How to Use:
- In vitro:IWP-2 was used at 1-2 µM in vitro and in cellular assays.
- In vivo:n/a
