Datasheet of IWP-4
Description: Wnt Inhibitor IWP-4 was identified in a high throughput screen for antagonists of the Wnt / β-catenin pathway. Wnt Inhibitor IWP-4 prevents palmitylation of Wnt proteins by Porcupine (Porcn), a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase, there by blocking Wnt secretion and activity. It also blocks phosphorylation of the Lrp6 receptor and accumulation of both Dvl2 and β-catenin. IWP-4 has been shown to block Wnt-dependent phosphorylation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 receptor and the scaffold protein Dishevelled, preventing the accumulation of β-catenin. IWP-4 has been used to induce cardiomyocyte differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells.
