Backgroundinformation
StemMACS™CHIR99021isahighlyselectiveinhibitorofglycogensynthasekinase3(GSK-3),acrucialregulatoroftheWntsignalingpathway.TheaminopyridineCHIR99021inhibitsbothGSK-3isoforms,GSK-3α(IC5010nM)andGSK-3β(IC506.7nM).UnlikeotherGSK-3inhibitors,itdoesnotcross-reactwithcyclin-dependentkinases(CDKs).ActivationofWntsignalingviaCHIR99021-mediatedGSK-3inhibitioniswidelyusedtomodulatepluripotentstemcelldifferentiationandself-renewal.
