Handling Instructions Technical Support

Berzosertib (VE-822) is an orally active, CNS-penetrant, and selective ATR kinase inhibitor. Berzosertib blocks ATR kinase activity, abrogates G2/M cell cycle checkpoint, impairs DNA damage repair. Berzosertib induces apoptosis, inhibnits conlony migration, inhibits cell proliferation, and activates cGAS-STING axes in cancer cells. Berzosertib can be used for the research of cancers, such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and colorectal cancer.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
