General description

A cell-permeable, reversible, and ATP-competitive inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC; IC50 = 7.9 nM for rat brain). Selectively inhibits Ca2+-dependent PKC α-isozyme (IC50 = 2.3 nM) and PKCβI (IC50 = 6.2 nM). Does not affect the kinase activity of the Ca2+-independent PKC δ-, ε-, and ζ-isozymes even at micromolar levels. Reported to inhibit PKCµ at higher concentrations (IC50 = 20 nM). A 500 µg/ml solution of Gö 6976 (Cat. No. 365253) in anhydrous DMSO is also available.
A cell-permeable, reversible, and ATP-competitive inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC; IC50 = 7.9 nM for rat brain). Selectively inhibits Ca2+-dependent PKCα-isozyme (IC50 = 2.3 nM) and PKCβI (IC50 = 6.2 nM). Does not affect the kinase activity of the Ca2+-independent PKC δ-, ε-, and ζ-isoenzymes even at micromolar levels. A potent antagonist of HIV-1 induction.
