FKL-137 is a GLUT1 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway inhibitor. FKL-137 binds to GLUT1, reduces glucose uptake and lactate secretion, downregulates glucose metabolism-related proteins, and inhibits erythroleukemia cell proliferation. FKL-137 downregulates PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT, p-AKT levels, disrupts the PI3K/AKT-GLUT1 positive feedback loop, and suppresses erythroleukemia cell proliferation. FKL-137 induces apoptosis via upregulated Bax, Cleaved-PARP and downregulated Bcl-2, PARP. FKL-137 can be used for the research of erythroleukemia.

Description

FKL-137 is a GLUT1 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway inhibitor. FKL-137 binds to GLUT1, reduces glucose uptake and lactate secretion, downregulates glucose metabolism-related proteins, and inhibits erythroleukemia cell proliferation. FKL-137 downregulates PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT, p-AKT levels, disrupts the PI3K/AKT-GLUT1 positive feedback loop, and suppresses erythroleukemia cell proliferation. FKL-137 induces apoptosis via upregulated Bax, Cleaved-PARP and downregulated Bcl-2, PARP. FKL-137 can be used for the research of erythroleukemia[1].

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.
