Description: 740
Y-P HCl, the hydrochloride salt form of 740Y-P, is a novel,
potent and cell-permeable peptide-based activator of PI3K. 740 Y-P plays
an important role in PI3K/AKT signaling
pathway. When tested with human melanoma MNT-1 cells, 20 μM 740 Y-P for
24 hours treatment significantly reduced the number of M6PR-positive
vacuoles induced by sucrose via activating PI3K. In cerebellar granule
cells in the circumstance of serum deprivation, 740 Y-P treatments
reduced the cell death rate via binding to p85 which was correlated with
PI 3-kinase-dependent phosphorylation of Akt process.
