Product Description

Rapamycin is an antifungal and immunosuppressant. Rapamycin is a specific inhibitor of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin); complexes with FKBP-12 and binds mTOR inhibiting its activity. Rapamycin inhibits interleukin-2-induced phosphorylation and activation of p70 S6 kinase and induces autophagy in yeast and mammalian cell lines. Rapamycin drives hPSC differentiation to mesendoderm and blood progenitor cells. Also used as a chemical dimerizer; rapamycin and GA3-AM chemically inducible dimerization systems are orthogonal. Inhibits MERS-CoV infection of Huh7 cells in a plaque reduction assay. Enhances lentiviral transduction of hematopoietic stem cells.
