Physical exertion and exercise are the primary defenses against obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. The transcriptional co-activator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor C coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and function.{21133} Expression of the membrane protein Fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5) is stimulated in muscle by PGC-1α in response to exercise. FNDC5 is proteolytically cleaved and secreted as the hormone peptide irisin (named after the Greek goddess messenger Iris). Irisin has been shown to convert white adipose fat to brown adipose fat upon physical exertion. Brown adipose fat allows for mitochondrial uncoupling leading to thermogenetic programs and heat expenditure.{20433} The physiological responses induced by the effects of irisin have the potential to increase weight loss and reduce insulin resistance and obesity.

  • 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 – 5 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.
