Product Description

IWP-2 is an inhibitor of the Wnt pathway, specifically targeting membrane-bound O-acyltransferase porcupine (PORCN) with an IC50 of 27 nM. This inhibition, in turn, prevents Wnt activation, secretion, and signaling (Garcia-Reyes, et al.), which leads to decreased self-renewal of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) (Kim, et al). IWP-2 has been an effective component within differentiation protocols of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into functional cardiomyocytes when combined with CHIR99021 (Cat. No. SM-0001-0010), IWP-4 (Cat. No. SM-0004-0005), Activin A, bFGF, and BMP4 (Lian, et al.). Additionally, IWP-2 shows promise in the differentiation of iPSCs into corneal epithelial cells (Mikhailova, et al.).
