Jervine

A cell-permeable steroidal alkaloid similar to cyclopamine (Cat. No. 239803) that displays teratogenic effects and induces cyclopia by blocking shh (Sonic Hedgehog) signaling (IC₅₀ = ~ 500-700 nM in s12 cells). Tomatidine (Cat. No. 614350) serves as a suitable negative control.

Cell permeable: yes

Primary Target
Induces cyclopia by blocking shh (Sonic Hedgehog) signaling
