IWP-3 is an inhibitor of Wnt production. Blocks Wnt pathway activity in vitro ( IC?????€ = 40 nM). IWP-3 inactivates Porcupine (Porcn), a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase responsible for palmitoylating Wnt proteins, which is essential for their signaling ability and secretion. Through blockade of Wnt signaling, IWP-3 has been used to promote cardiomyocyte generation from human embryonic stem cells (EC?????€ = 1.2 μM).
Store lyophilized at -20ºC, keep desiccated. In lyophilized form, the chemical is stable for 36 months. In solution, store at -20ºC and use within 3 months to prevent loss of potency. Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
