MEK
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase; MAPKK; MAP2K
MEK (Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, MAPKK) is a kinase enzyme which phosphorylates mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The activated MAPK leads to the phosphorylation of downstream transcription factors that regulate various responses such as stress signaling, pathogen response, and hormone signaling.
In general, the MAPKKK phosphorylates a serine or threonine residue on a MAPKK, which sequentially activates a MAPK (ERK, p38 or JNK), the last protein in the cascade. Activation of the p38 MAPK occurs mainly through mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3 (MKK3) and MKK6 (sometimes MKK4). The JNK is regulated by two upstream MAP2Ks: MKK4 and MKK7. The highly homologous kinases, MEK1 and MEK2, act downstream of Ras and Raf to activate ERK mitogen-activated protein kinases.

Sorafenib-d4
0 ImagesSynonyms: Bay 43-9006-d4Sorafenib-d4 (Bay 43-9006-d4) is the deuterated-labeled Sorafenib (HY-10201). Sorafenib (Bay 43-9006) is a potent oral active multikinase inhibitor. Sorafenib blocks autophosphorylation and activity of receptor tyrosine kinases (VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3) and RAF family kinases, thereby suppressing the RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways, inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation, and selectively inhibiting the MAPK pathway in cancer cells. Sorafenib induces cell cycle arrest, autophagy, apoptosis, and PARP cleavage, reduces Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, cyclin D1 levels, and activates Bak and Bax. Sorafenib inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in mouse and rat models. Sorafenib can be used for cancer research, such as colon, breast, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian, pancreatic, melanoma, colorectal and hepatocellular carcinoma.

HDB-1
0 ImagesHDB-1 is a selective inhibitor of the P2Y14 receptor (P2Y14R) with an IC50 of 26 pM. HDB-1 shows no significant inhibition on P2Y1R, P2Y2R, P2Y4R, P2Y6R, and P2Y12R. HDB-1 blocks the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) by inhibiting the PKA/Raf1/MEK/ERK signaling pathway mediated by P2Y14R, thereby alleviating the core pathological process of liver fibrosis. HDB-1 can be used for the study of liver fibrosis.

(2Z,3Z)-U0126
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-12031BCAS No.: 218601-62-8(2Z,3Z)-U0126 is a selective inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2, demonstrating potent antiinflammatory effects by noncompetitively inhibiting AP-1 transcriptional activity with IC50 values of 72 nM for MEK1 and 58 nM for MEK2. (2Z,3Z)-U0126 also inhibits anchorage-independent growth of Ki-ras-transformed rat fibroblasts by blocking both the extracellular signal-regulated kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways. Additionally, (2Z,3Z)-U0126 can undergo isomerization and cyclization, resulting in various products that show reduced affinity for MEK and diminished AP-1 inhibition compared to the parent compound.
