QUICK LINKS

Wnt Agonist is a cell-permeable pyrimidine compound that acts as a potent and selective activator of Wnt signaling. Wnt Agonist functions best at an IC50 > 60 μM. In addition to mimicking the effect of Wnt, Wnt Agonist has also induced β-catenin and T-cell fate-dependent transcriptional activity in HEK-293T cells at an EC50 = 700 nM. When applied to Xenopous embryos, Wnt Agonist caused substantial head defects development. Wnt Agonist has also been observed to enhance beta cell expansion in vitro. Wnt Agonist is beneficial for studying the effects of Wnt pathway, due to the activation of Wnt without inhibiting the activity of GSK-3β.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very badThis is a very bad compound to be used as a Wnt inducer. Long-term treatment (3 days) at EC50 caused apoptosis. It turns out that it inhibits microtubule structure and, hence, cell division. Even at lower concentrations, apoptosis was induced. It is better to use a beta-catenin activator (GSKbeta inhibitor) as an inducer of the the Wnt pathway.
