Chemical inhibitors of ILT-8 include a variety of compounds that interfere with cellular signaling pathways and post-translational modifications essential for the protein's function. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine, for instance, can inhibit the glycosylation of proteins. Since glycosylation is critical for the proper folding and function of membrane proteins like ILT-8, the presence of this monosaccharide could lead to the production of ILT-8 proteins that are unable to function correctly on the cell surface. Similarly, Chondroitin sulfate can disrupt the synthesis of proteoglycans, which may alter the extracellular matrix and consequently affect ILT-8 signaling. Moreover, Heparin, by binding to proteins, can compete with natural ligands for binding sites on ILT-8, potentially disrupting its interactions and signal transduction, leading to inhibition of ILT-8's activity.
Other inhibitors target kinases that are likely involved in the signaling pathways utilized by ILT-8. PP2, a Src family kinase inhibitor, can suppress the kinase activity that may be requisite for ILT-8 downstream signaling. Suramin, by interfering with growth factor binding, can inhibit signal transduction pathways that ILT-8 may depend on. PD168393 and Genistein both function as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and can block the signaling cascade necessary for ILT-8's activity. LY294002 and Wortmannin, as PI3K inhibitors, can prevent AKT phosphorylation, which if required for ILT-8 signaling, would result in its functional inhibition. U0126, SB203580, and SP600125 are inhibitors of different kinases within the MAPK pathway; by inhibiting MEK1/2, p38 MAPK, and JNK respectively, these compounds can disrupt the MAPK pathway signaling that ILT-8 may depend on for its functional activity.

N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine | 7512-17-6 | sc-286377 sc-286377B sc-286377A | 50 g 100 g 250 g | $92.00 $159.00 $300.00 | 1 | |
N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine is a monosaccharide that can inhibit glycosylation. ILT-8 is a receptor that is likely glycosylated as part of its maturation and function. By inhibiting glycosylation, N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine can result in improperly folded ILT-8 proteins, thereby impeding their ability to function properly on the cell surface. | ||||||
Chondroitin Sulfate, Bovine | 9007-28-7 | sc-203888 | 5 g | $92.00 | 1 | |
Chondroitin sulfate is involved in the inhibition of proteoglycan synthesis. Since proteoglycans can be part of the extracellular matrix and impact receptor signaling, the presence of chondroitin sulfate can alter the cellular environment in which ILT-8 operates, potentially inhibiting its function. | ||||||
Heparin | 9005-49-6 | sc-507344 | 25 mg | $117.00 | 1 | |
Heparin binds to various proteins and can compete with natural ligands for binding sites, potentially inhibiting the interaction between ILT-8 and its ligands. This can disrupt signal transduction and inhibit the functional activity of ILT-8. | ||||||
