product name CHIR-99021 (CT99021) HCl
Description: CHIR-99021 (also called CT99021) HCl is the hydrochloride salt of CHIR-99021, which is a GSK-3α/β inhibitor with IC50 of 10 nM/6.7 nM in cell-free assays; CHIR-99021 was proved to promote self-renewal and maintain pluripotency of both B6 and BALB/c ES cells via stabilizing the downstream effectors like c-Myc and β -catenin. In J1 mESC cells, CHIR-99021 played an important role in maintaining the colony morphology as well as the self-renewal when combined with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). CHIR-99021 has shown to regulate multiple signaling pathways which involve Wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β, Nodal and MAPK, and the expression of epigenetic regulatory genes like Dnmt3.
