WFDC17 Activators

WFDC17, also known as WAP four-disulfide core domain 17, is a protein involved in various cellular processes, including immune response regulation and host defense. It plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts by inhibiting proteolytic enzymes and protecting against microbial invasion. The activation of WFDC17 is essential for its ability to modulate immune responses and protect against infections. The activation mechanisms of WFDC17 involve various pathways, including the cAMP-PKA pathway through Forskolin, SIRT1 activation through Resveratrol, and PKC activation via PMA. Additionally, A23187 triggers calcium-dependent kinases, while Sodium Orthovanadate inhibits protein tyrosine phosphatases to activate WFDC17. Rolipram inhibits PDE4, increasing cAMP levels and subsequently activating WFDC17.

Furthermore, Bay K 8644 enhances calcium channel activity, Lithium Chloride stabilizes WFDC17 through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and Calcitriol boosts WFDC17 expression via the vitamin D receptor. Chlorogenic Acid modulates WFDC17 through the NF-κB pathway, and Ionomycin induces calcium influx, leading to WFDC17 activation. These chemicals offer a diverse array of activation mechanisms, providing valuable insights into potential strategies for controlling WFDC17 function in various physiological contexts.
