PTEN (Phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10), a phosphoinositide 3-phosphatase, is an important regulator of insulin-dependent signaling. The loss or impairment of PTEN results in an antidiabetic impact, which led to the suggestion that PTEN could be an important target for drugs against type II diabetes. PTEN has a much wider active site cleft enabling it to bind the PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 substrate. a highly potent and specific inhibitor of PTEN that increases cellular PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 levels, phosphorylation of Akt, and glucose uptake in adipocytes at nanomolar concentrations.

    Cefminox sodium (Standard)
    Cefminox (sodium) (MT-141) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Cefminox (sodium). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Cefminox sodium is a semisynthetic cephamycin, which exhibits antibacterial activity. Cefminox sodium is a broad-spectrum, bactericidal cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefminox sodium also acts as a dual agonist of prostacyclin receptor (IP) and PPARγ. Cefminox sodium upregulates cAMP production and PTEN expression and inhibits Akt/mTOR signaling. Cefminox sodium also prevents pulmonary arterial hypertension in rat model.
