FAK Inhibitor 14 has been used in the metastasis assay. It is also used to study its effect on bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7)-induced cell crawling and adhesion.

1,2,4,5-Benzenetetraamine tetrahydrochloride (FAK Inhibitor 14; Y15) is a cell-permeable, selective focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor.

1,2,4,5-Benzenetetraamine tetrahydrochloride (FAK Inhibitor 14; Y15) is a cell-permeable, selective focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is essential in regulating integrin signaling pathways responsible for cell survival, cell proliferation and motility. Phosphorylation of FAK tyrosine 397 (Y397) forms a high affinity binding site for the SH2 domain of the Src family kinases and PI3 kinase. FAK is overexpressed in a number of human tumors. 1,2,4,5-Benzenetetraamine tetrahydrochloride (FAK Inhibitor 14, Y15) blocks phosphorylation of Y397-FAK, which results in neuroblastoma cell detachment and apoptosis.
