BCKDC kinase inhibitor

 

Functions

BT2 is an inhibitor of the mitochondrial branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex kinase (BCKDC) – IC50 = 3.19 µM. Inhibition of this kinase has been shown to reduce levels of branched-chain amino acid concentrations in vivo. BT2 has also been shown to be a moderate inhibitor (Ki = 59 µM) of myeloid cell leukemia 1(Mcl 1), a Bcl-2 family protein.

 

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to at least 20 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO may be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.
