PTEN

Phosphatase and tensin homolog; MMAC1

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.

    Oroxin B (Standard)
    Activator
    Oroxin B (Standard) is the analytical standard of Oroxin B. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Oroxin B (OB) is a flavonoid isolated from traditional Chinese herbal medicine Oroxylum indicum (L.) Vent. Oroxin B (OB) possesses obvious inhibitory effect and induces early apoptosis rather than late apoptosis on liver cancer cells through upregulation of PTEN, down regulation of COX-2, VEGF, PI3K, and p-AKT. Oroxin B (OB) selectively induces tumor-suppressive ER stress in malignant lymphoma cells.

    bpV(bipy) hydrate
    Inhibitor
    bpV(bipy) hydrate is the inhibitor for phosphoinositide 3-phosphatase (PTEN) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP-β and PTP-1B) with IC50s of 18, 60.3, and 164 nM, respectively.

    Polyporenic acid C (Standard)
    Activator
    Polyporenic acid C (Standard) is an analytical standard of Polyporenic acid C (HY-N2993). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Polyporenic acid C is a lanostane-type triterpenoid. Polyporenic acid C can be isolated from Poria cocos. Polyporenic acid C causes the cleavage of caspase-8 and caspase-3, as well as the cleavage of PARP. Polyporenic acid C reduces the phosphorylation level of Akt (Ser473), increases the phosphorylation of PTEN and p53 (Ser15), and activates JNK. Polyporenic acid C induces Apoptosis. Polyporenic acid C shows anticancer activity against non-small cell lung cancer.

  • HY-128932R
    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.
