Description

Application

MB-3 has been used as a general control non-repressible 5 (GCN5) inhibitor:

• to study its effects on lamin A/C-associated pY19-Cav-2-mediated histone H3 acetylations
• to analyze its effects on the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings
• to study its effects on craniofacial chondrocyte maturation

Biochem/physiol Actions

MB-3 can modify the gene expression in murine embryonic stem cells as well as yeast. It hinders the acetyltransferase activity of general control non-repressible 5 (GCN5) by binding to acetyl CoA pocket present in GCN5.

MB-3 is a Gcn5 HAT (Histone Acetyltransferase) inhibitor; anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic.
