Product Description: Senexin A is an inhibitor of CDK8/19 (IC50: 280 nM, CDK8) and an inhibitor downstream of p21 transcription. It only inhibits p21-induced transcription but does not inhibit other biological effects of p21. Senexin A inhibits CMV-GFP induction as well as the p21 stimulatory activity of the consensus NF-κB-dependent promoters[1][2].
Applications: Cancer-Kinase/protease
