Okadaic Acid, Potassium Salt is a water-soluble analog of Okadaic Acid. The compound is a potent inhibitor of serine/threonine-specific protein phosphatases PP1, PP2A, 5534, PP2C and endogenous phosphatase smooth muscle myosin at IC50 of 10-15 nM, 0.1 nM, 5 muM, >10 muM and 15-70 nM respectively. This inhibition action has been used to stimulate the activity of glucose transport and has been observed to block insulin′s stimulation of glucose transport by inhibiting IRS-1 phosphorylation. Okadaic Acid, Potassium Salt has been used as a response modifier in the study of large granular lymphocyte and T-cell biochemistry. In addition to inhibitive activities it is a tumor promoter and has been used to study nitric oxide metabolism, apoptosis, cell cycle and calcium signaling. Okadaic Acid, Potassium Salt is an activator of PKC lambda and PKC zeta.
