ChoK-α inhibitor CK37 — Datasheet

Biological Activity

A potent, specific, competitive inhibitor of choline kinase-α (Chok-α) by targeting the choline binding site; significantly increases LC3II expression in MCF-7 and MCF-7/TAM cells, increases the size and number of autophagosome, causes MCF-7 and MCF-7/TAM cells to a slight increase in p62; suppresses MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling, disrupts actin cytoskeletal organization, and reduces plasma membrane ruffling; significantly decreases tumor growth in a lung tumor xenograft mouse model, suppresses tumor phosphocholine, and diminishes activating phosphorylations of ERK and AKT in vivo.

Published experimental findings depend on the model and assay conditions. They do not guarantee equivalent performance in every application. For laboratory research use only.
