VO-OHPic is a reversible, noncompetitive PTEN inhibitor with an human IC50 value of 46 nM. VO-OHPic inhibits PTEN signaling, activates Akt-GSK3β and Nrf-2/HO-1 pathways, induces apoptosis resistance and elevates IL-10 levels. VO-OHPic inhibits autophagy, ferroptosis and oxidative stress. VO-OHPic can be used for the research of acute myocardial infarction, intervertebral disc degeneration, cardiomyopathy and 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.
