20(S)-hydroxy Cholesterol is an allosteric agonist of the smoothened (Smo) receptor that activates the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway with an EC50 value of approxiately 3 μM in a gene transcription reporter assay using NIH3T3 cells.{21991} 20(S)-hydroxy Cholesterol is necessary for normal Hh signaling. It induces Smo accumulation in primary cilia, an early event in signaling, and binds to the extracellular, cysteine-rich domain of Smo.{21991,40043} 20(S)-hydroxy Cholesterol also stimulates osteogenic differentiation of pluripotent bone marrow stromal cells, a process mediated via Hh and Notch signaling.{40041,18498,40042}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.
