Inhibitor of Wnt processing and secretion. Inactivates PORCN, a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT), and selectively inhibits palmitoylation of Wnt. Blocks Wnt-dependent phosphorylation of Lrp6 receptor and Dvl2, andβ-catenin accumulation. Suppresses

Product Description
IWP-2 is an inhibitor of Wnt processing and secretion with IC50 of 27 nM in a cell-free assay, selective blockage of Porcn-mediated Wnt palmitoylation, does not affect Wnt/β-catenin in general and displays no effect against Wnt-stimulated cellular responses. An inhibitor of Wnt production
Application
IWP-2 has been used to treat the cell lines L-Wnt-3a and L-Wnt-5a, to demonstrate the inhibitory effect of IWP-2. It has also been used as a Wnt signaling inhibitor to treat WT and Gja1Jrt/+ stromal cells to confirm that, theWnt/β-catenin signaling pathway pathway was not involved in the increased marker expression by Gja1Jrt/+ osteoblasts.
