Fatostatin (C007B-168407)

InformationFatostatin Fatostatin (125B11), a diarylthiazole derivative, is a specific inhibitor of Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) activation. Fatostatin binds to SCAP (SREBP cleavage-activating protein), and inhibits the ER-Golgi translocation of SREBPs. Fatostatin suppresses growth and enhances apoptosis in cancer cells.TargetsSREBPIn vitroFatostatin impairs the activation process of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), thereby decreasing the transcription of lipogenic genes in cells. Fatostatin inhibits the ER-Golgi translocation of SREBPs through binding to their escort protein, the SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), at a distinct site from the sterol-binding domain.In vivoFatostatin blocks increases in body weight, blood glucose, and hepatic fat accumulation in obese ob/ob mice, even under uncontrolled food intake. Fatostatin may serve as a tool for gaining further insights into the regulation of SREBP.Cell Research(from reference)Cell lines：CHO-K1 cells Concentrations：20 μM Incubation Time：20 h.
