NMDI14 has been used as a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) inhibitor:
to study its effects on differentiating cardiomyocytes[1]
to study its effects on zebrafish pdzk1 gene-knockout embryos[2]
to analyze its effects on the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells[3]

NMDI14 is a potent nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) inhibitor. NMDI14 targets a pocket in the SMG7 protein and disrupts SMG7–UPF1 interactions. NMDI14 restores of full-length p53 protein activity in in cells with premature termination codons (PTC) mutated p53.
Deregulated Wnt signaling initiates most cases of colorectal cancer (CRC). Butyrate, a product of dietary fiber, hyperactivates Wnt signaling, resulting in induction of CRC cell apoptosis, which may in part explain the protective action of fiber. Nonsense mediated decay (NMD)
DNA-RNA hybrid structures have been detected at the vicinity of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occurring within transcriptional active regions of the genome. The induction of DNA-RNA hybrids strongly affects the repair of these DSBs, but the nature of these structures
The human PDZK1 gene is located in a genomic susceptibility region for neurodevelopmental disorders. A genome-wide association study identified links between PDZK1 polymorphisms and altered visual contrast sensitivity, an endophenotype for schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder. The PDZK1 protein is
The RNA-binding protein QKI belongs to the hnRNP K-homology domain protein family, a well-known regulator of pre-mRNA alternative splicing and is associated with several neurodevelopmental disorders. Qki is found highly expressed in developing and adult hearts. By employing the human
