Description:IWP-2, with the CAS number 686770-61-6, is a small molecule inhibitor primarily known for its role in modulating the Wnt signaling pathway. This compound is characterized by its ability to inhibit the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3), which is a key regulator in this pathway. By inhibiting GSK-3, IWP-2 promotes the stabilization of β-catenin, leading to enhanced Wnt signaling. This property makes IWP-2 a valuable tool in research, particularly in studies related to stem cell biology, developmental processes, and cancer, where Wnt signaling plays a critical role. IWP-2 is typically used in cell culture experiments and has been shown to influence cell proliferation and differentiation. Its chemical structure includes specific functional groups that contribute to its inhibitory activity, although detailed structural information is not provided here. As with any chemical substance, proper handling and safety protocols should be observed when working with IWP-2 in laboratory settings.
