Description:

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

MTOB is the substrate for the C-terminal Binding Protein (CtBP). MTOB can interfere with CtBP oncogenic activity in cell culture and in mice. It also positively regulates TCF-4 signaling, leading to cancer stem cells (CSC) growth and self-renewal.
