MedKoo Cat#: 561236 | Name: DL-threo dihydrosphingosine

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

DL-threo dihydrosphingosine is an inhibitor of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signalling cassette in mammalian cells. DL-threo dihydrosphingosine is effective against both growth factor- and G-protein-dependent activation of ERK. This compound may represent an important pharmacological cell-permeable agent that may be usefully employed to block smooth muscle cell proliferation.
