LHFPL2 Activators

LHFPL2 Activators are chemical compounds that can directly or indirectly enhance the functional activity of LHFPL2, a protein associated with calcium ion channels. These activators exert their effect through a common pathway, calcium ion homeostasis. For instance, All-trans retinoic acid activates retinoic acid receptor (RAR) that influences the transcription of genes involved in calcium ion channel regulation, thereby indirectly enhancing the function of LHFPL2. Similarly, compounds such as Nifedipine, Dantrolene, Verapamil, Bepridil, Felodipine, and Nicardipine, which are calcium channel blockers, modulate the influx of calcium ions, thereby impacting the function of LHFPL2.

On the other hand, Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) modulates the activity of protein kinase C (PKC), a key regulator of calcium ion channels, thereby influencing the function of LHFPL2. Compounds such as Ryanodine and Thapsigargin, which modulate the release of calcium ions from intracellular stores, can also influence the function of LHFPL2. BAY K8644, a calcium channel agonist, enhances calcium ion influx, thereby influencing the function of LHFPL2. Thus, the function of LHFPL2 can be enhanced through the selective modulation of calcium ion channels and related biological pathways by these activators.
