U 0126
- U 126- Soluble in DMSO and EtOH
- MF: C18H16N6S2
- MW: 380.49
Description
U 0126 is a noncompetitive inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2, the dual-specificity kinases upstream of ERK1/2. It suppresses MAPK/ERK pathway activation without directly inhibiting ERK catalytic activity.
MEK1/2 signaling controls proliferation, differentiation, survival and stress responses downstream of RAS and RAF. U 0126 is a benchmark MEK inhibitor for dissecting ERK pathway dependency in cellular and in vivo models.
Key Features
- MEK1/2 inhibitor
- Reported IC50 values: 0.07 µM for MEK1 and 0.06 µM for MEK2
- Noncompetitive inhibition profile
- Blocks ERK pathway activation downstream of RAF
Applications
- MAPK/ERK signaling research
- Cell proliferation and differentiation studies
- Neuroprotection and ischemia pathway models
- MEK inhibitor assay controls
