Fatostatin A Usage And Synthesis

Description

Fatostatin (125256-00-0) blocks adipogenesis by inhibiting the activation of SREBP. Inhibits the ER-Golgi translocation of SREBPs via binding to their escort protein (SCAP). Fatostatin prevents increases in body weight, blood glucose, and hepatic fat accumulation in obese ob/ob mice.1?Inhibits high glucose-induced TGF-β in mesangial cells.2?Cell permeable.

Uses

Fatostatin A is Cell permeable inhibitor of SREBP activation.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-(4-methylphenyl)-2-(2-propyl-4-pyridinyl)thiazole is a member of thiazoles.
