Application

K-252a is used to inhibit protein kinases involved in cell signaling processes, including CaM kinase; phosphorylase kinase, serine/threonine kinases, Trk. It is used to inhibit the actions of nerve growth factor (NGF) on PC1 2 cells and to inhibit smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent inhibitor of various protein kinases including protein kinase A, C, and G. It is is reported to selectively inhibit the actions of nerve growth factor (NGF) on PC1 2 cells and has been shown to inhibit smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase .
