Indirubin is a natural compound that is extensively studied in the field of cell biology and biochemistry for its kinase inhibitory activity. It is particularly recognized for its ability to inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which are integral to cell cycle regulation. Research utilizing indirubin often focuses on the mechanisms that control cell proliferation and the timing of cell cycle transitions. Moreover, indirubin is of interest in studies investigating the regulatory processes of neuronal cells and potential signaling pathways that influence neurogenesis. The compound′s diverse biological activities make it useful for researchers attempting to dissect complex cellular processes and the molecular basis of cell cycle control.
