AGK2 is a SIRT2 inhibitor. AGK2 has been used in a study to determine that SIRT2 inhibition induces cell death and decreases the intracellular ATP level. AGK2 also rescues dopamine neurons from α-synuclein toxicity in Parkinson′s disease models.
Biochem/physiol Actions
AGK2 is a SIRT2 inhibitor. AGK2 rescues dopamine neurons from α-synuclein toxicity in Parkinson′s disease models. IC50 for SIRT2 = 3.5 uM. AGK2 is >15-fold more selective for SIRT2 than SIRT1 and SIRT3. AGK2 may be the most selective SIRT2 inhibitor available.

Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is a family member of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylases which appears to have detrimental roles in an array of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Huntington's disease (HD). In light of the recently emerging
Megakaryocytic cells (Mks) undergo endomitosis and become polyploid. Mk ploidy correlates with platelet production. We previously showed that nicotinamide (NIC) greatly increases Mk ploidy in cultures of human mobilized peripheral blood CD34(+) cells. This study aims to examine the generality

Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +)-dependent class III histone deacetylase. We have reported that HBx (hepatitis B virus X protein)-elevated SIRT2 promotes HBV replication and hepatocarcinogenesis. However, the potential anti-HBV effect of AGK2, a selective inhibitor

Chemical and microbiological composition of four Argentinean kefir grains from different sources as well as characteristics of the corresponding fermented milk were studied. Kefir grains CIDCA AGK1, AGK2 and AGK4 did not show significant differences in their chemical and microbiological

Sirtuins belong to the family of class III histone deacetylases; its role in neoplasia is controversial as both tumor-suppressive and promoting functions have been reported. There are very few reports available, where expressions of sirtuin isoforms are comprehensively analyzed during
We offer a variety of small molecule research tools, such as transcription factor modulators, inhibitors of chromatin modifying enzymes, and agonists/antagonists for target identification and validation in gene regulation research; a selection of these research tools is shown below.
