Chemical inhibitors of MOM-4 function through various mechanisms to impede its activity within cellular signaling pathways. Staurosporine, a broad-spectrum kinase inhibitor, targets multiple protein kinases, including those associated with the activation of MOM-4. By inhibiting these kinases, Staurosporine can prevent the phosphorylation events that are essential for MOM-4 signaling activities. Similarly, LY294002 and Wortmannin are both inhibitors of PI3K, a kinase that operates upstream of MOM-4. By blocking PI3K activity, these inhibitors can reduce the production of PIP3, a critical lipid molecule in the signaling cascade, ultimately decreasing the activation of MOM-4. U0126 and PD98059, both selective inhibitors of MEK1/2, as well as PD0325901, a potent MEK inhibitor, can suppress the upstream activation of the ERK pathway, which can be linked to the regulation of MOM-4. This leads to a decrease in MOM-4 activity by limiting the activation signals that typically come from the ERK pathway.
In addition to these inhibitors, SP600125, which targets JNK, and SB203580, which targets p38 MAP kinase, can disrupt the activation of transcription factors and stress response pathways, respectively, that may regulate the activation state of MOM-4. Rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor, acts within the PI3K/AKT pathway that can intersect with MOM-4's regulatory network, thereby reducing the signaling that contributes to MOM-4 activity. PP2, a Src family kinase inhibitor, and PF-562271, a FAK inhibitor, disrupt signaling pathways that are important for various cellular processes, potentially leading to a decrease in the activation and function of MOM-4. BIX02189 specifically inhibits MEK5, which is involved in the ERK5 pathway. By inhibiting this kinase, the signaling that may influence MOM-4 activity via the ERK5 pathway is impeded. Collectively, these chemical inhibitors act on distinct kinases and pathways that converge on or regulate MOM-4, resulting in the downregulation of its activity within cells.

Staurosporine is a potent kinase inhibitor that inhibits multiple protein kinases, including those related to MOM-4 signaling pathways like MAPK, which could lead to functional inhibition of MOM-4 by preventing its activation or phosphorylation necessary for its kinase activity. | ||||||
LY 294002 | 154447-36-6 | sc-201426 sc-201426A | 5 mg 25 mg | $123.00 $400.00 | 148 | |
LY294002 is a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. Since PI3K signaling can be upstream of MOM-4 in certain pathways, its inhibition could reduce the phosphorylation and activity of MOM-4 by limiting the production of PIP3, which is critical for some signaling cascades that activate MOM-4. | ||||||

U0126 is a selective inhibitor of MEK1/2, which are upstream kinases in the MAPK/ERK pathway. By inhibiting MEK1/2, U0126 can reduce the activation of ERK, which might be an upstream regulator of MOM-4, leading to its functional inhibition. | ||||||
SP600125 | 129-56-6 | sc-200635 sc-200635A | 10 mg 50 mg | $40.00 $150.00 | 257 | |
SP600125 is an inhibitor of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), which can be involved in pathways that regulate MOM-4 activity. Inhibition of JNK could lead to decreased activation of transcription factors that are necessary for MOM-4 function. | ||||||
