GPR120 (free fatty acid receptor 4/FFAR4) is a G protein-coupled receptor expressed in intestine, adipocytes, and pro-inflammatory macrophages that is activated by long-chain free fatty acids. It has been linked to the ability of fatty acids to produce anti-inflammatory effects and to acutely potentiate insulin secretion. Grifolic acid is a selective partial agonist of GPR120 that induces ERK activation and intracellular calcium responses in mouse enteroendocrine STC-1 cells that express GPR120 endogenously, but not those expressing GPR40.{31125}

    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.

  • A small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state; activity is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM

    SC-1 – 25 mg

    The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal. SC-1 is a small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state.{14533} The activity of SC-1 is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM, respectively.{14533} Inhibition of RasGAP increases Ras signaling via the PI3-kinase pathway which promotes self-renewal, whereas inhibition of ERK blocks differentiation.
