Application

RK-682 has been used:
  • as a positive control in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
  • as a reference compound in high-performance liqiud chromatography (HPLC)
  • as a pan-protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type (PTPN) inhibitor to study its effects on the activated lymphocytes

Biochem/physiol Actions

RK-682 is a specific and noncompetitive inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase; It inhibited dephosphorylation activity of CD45 and VHR with IC50 54 and 2.0 microM and 4.5 microM against PTP1B.
Specific and noncompetitive inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase.
