Smo Activator

Purmorphamine is a smoothened/Smo receptor agonist with an EC₅₀ of 1 μM.

20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol (20α-Hydroxycholesterol) is an allosteric activator that selectively targets the Smoothened (Smo) of the Hedgehog pathway with an EC₅₀ of ~30 μM (Hedgehog). 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol binds to the extracellular cysteine-rich domain (CRD) of Smo in a stereoselective manner, activating downstream Gli transcription factors (without inducing transcription of receptor genes in the Wnt pathway). 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol enhances osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells and synergistically activates the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway with Simvastatin (HY-17502) to promote bone regeneration. 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol can be used to study the mechanisms of developmental biology, oncology, bone, and angiogenesis.

20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol (Standard) is the analytical standard of 20(S)-Hydroxycholesterol. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 20(S)-hydroxyCholesterol (20α-Hydroxycholesterol) is an allosteric activator of the oncoprotein smoothened (Smo) that activates the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway with an EC₅₀ of 3 μM in a gene transcription reporter assay using NIH3T3 cells.

7-keto-25-Hydroxycholesterol (7-keto-25-OHC), a oxysterol, is a Smoothened (Smo) activator. 7-keto-25-Hydroxycholesterol binds to the extracellular cysteine-rich domain (CRD) of Smo.
