General description

A cell-permeable isoquinolinesulfonamide compound that acts as a highly specific, potent, and ATP-competitive inhibitor of G-protein Rho-associated kinase (ROCK; Ki = 1.6 nM). Inhibits other serine/threonine kinases only at higher concentrations (Ki = 630 nM for PKA, 9.27 µM for PKC, and 10.1 µM for MLCK). Shown to selectively block lysophosphatidic acid-induced, but not PDBu-induced, phosphorylation of myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) in NT-2 cells (IC50 = 2.5 µM). Reported to be a more potent and selective inhibitor than Y-27632 (Cat. No. 688000 & 688001).
The InSolution Rho Kinase Inhibitor controls the biological activity of Rho Kinase. This small molecule/inhibitor is primarily used for Phosphorylation & Dephosphorylation applications.
