N-WASP inhibitor

Functions

A selective, reversible inhibitor of neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) activity. Binds to the regulatory domain of N-WASP and inhibits activation of Arp2/3 complex by forcing N-WASP into an inactive conformation. Inhibits PIP2-induced actin polymerization (EC50=4 μM). Perturbs agrin-elicited acetylcholine receptor clustering. Inhibits the formation of dendritic spines and synapses in hippocampal neurons.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 30 mg/ml), or in Ethanol (up to 10 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or ethanol may be stored at -20° for up to 3 months.

Research use only.
