Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) is a phorbol ester that is commonly used to activate certain types of protein kinase C (PKC), including group A (α, βI, βII, γ) and group B (δ, ε, η, θ) isoforms.{17804} Phorbol esters, including PMA, are structurally analogous to diacylglycerol and activate PKC isoforms by associating with their C1 domains.{17805} Through PKC, PMA also activates certain MAP kinase pathways.{17806} Prolonged treatment of cells with PMA at high concentrations results in the downregulation of total PKC activity and is tumorigenic, whereas lower concentrations may be protective.{17807,17808} In addition, PMA promotes hematopoietic differentiation.{17809,17810} The aqueous solubility of PMA is about 10-fold better than that of phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate, indicating that PMA is preferable in cell-based studies.

    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.

    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.
