MM-401is a specific inhibitor of histone H3K4 methyltransferase MLL1 activity that acts by reprogramming mouse epiblast stem cells to naive pluripotency.
Peptide 401is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) derived from the venom of bees and wasps. Peptide 401 induces mast cell degranulation, activating histamine release from peritoneal mast cells. Additionally, peptide 401 exhibits some anti-inflammatory activit
High affinity JNK inhibitor (Ki values are 25-50 nM). Inhibits JNK via competitive binding of the ATP-binding site of active, phosphorylated JNK. Exhibits > 40-fold selectivity for JNK over p38, ERK, IKK2, protein kinase C, Lck and ZAP70. Hepatoprotective. Also inhibits HCMV replication.
