Product Overview
LKB1 is a selective inhibitor of Pim-1 kinase with Kd value of 35 nM. Pim-1 (proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase) is a proto-oncogene encodes by PIM1 gene and is reported to play an important role in multiple human cancers. Initially, pim-1 is reported to be expressed in spleen, thymus, bone marrow, prostate, oral epithelial cells, etc. Recently, the high expression of pim-1 has been identified in several isolated human cancer cells and been shown to involve in the cell cycle progression, apoptosis, transcriptional activation and many general signal transduction pathways. Therefore, investigation of the inhibition of pim-1 by low molecular weight compounds as a part of anticancer therapeutic strategies needs more attention and progress.
