Functions

Wnt-C59 is a potent (IC50 = 74 pmol/L) inhibitor of Porcupine (PORCN), a Wnt-acyltransferase. Blockage of Wnt-acyltransferase prevents secretion of all Wnt isoforms.  It was able to block progression of mammary tumors in MMTV-WNT1 transgenic mice. Wnt-C59 strongly inhibited the growth of intestinal neoplasia in RZ-mutant mice.  Wnt-C59 was able to efficiently differentiate pluripotent stem cells into cortical neurons (CTIP2+/COUP-TF1).  Wnt-C59 was also able to dramatically attenuate kidney fibrosis via inhibition of collagen mRNA expression and expression of inflammatory cytokines.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 7 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to 6 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or ethanol may be stored at -20°C for up to 1 month.

Research use only.
