Wiskostatin is a selective inhibitor of the actin-binding protein N-WASP, which is involved in actin polymerization and cytoskeleton reorganization. This compound is valuable in cell biology research for studying the dynamics of actin assembly and its role in processes such as cell motility, adhesion, and morphology. By inhibiting N-WASP activity, Wiskostatin allows researchers to dissect the contribution of N-WASP to the formation of actin-rich structures like filopodia and lamellipodia. It is also employed in the investigation of intracellular trafficking and signal transduction pathways that are regulated by actin cytoskeletal rearrangements. Furthermore, Wiskostatin is used to gain insights into the pathophysiology of conditions where aberrant regulation of actin polymerization is a factor.
