    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    K252a is supplied as a lyophilized powder. For a 1 mM stock, reconstitute the 100 μg in 213.9 µl DMSO. Working concentrations and length of treatment can vary depending on the desired effect, but it is typically used as a pretreatment at 0.1-1 µM for 0.5-1 hr prior to treating with a stimulator. Soluble in DMSO at 100 mg/ml; poorly soluble in ethanol.

    Storage

    Store lyophilized or in solution at -20ºC, desiccated. Protect from light. In lyophilized form, the chemical is stable for 24 months. Once in solution, use within 3 months to prevent loss of potency. Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.

    Background

    Originally isolated from the soil fungi Nocardiopisis sp., K252a is a staurosporine analog that inhibits various protein kinases through competition with the ATP binding site (1,2). K252a is a reversible cell-permeable, potent inhibitor of phosphorylase kinase (IC50 = 1.7 nM), protein kinase A (PKA) (IC50 = 140 nM), and protein kinase C (PKC) (IC50 = 470 nM) (3,4). K252a is also known to inhibit protein kinase G and CaM kinase II (5,6). K252a inhibits nerve growth factor induced Trk activation (IC50 = 3 nM), as well as downstream signaling (5,7,8). K252a is reported to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest through cdc25 and cdc2 inhibition (9).
