General description

A cell-permeable, reversible, potent and selective inhibitor of Casein Kinase (CK1) that inhibits the CK1δ (IC50 = 0.7-1.3 µM) and CK1ε (IC50 = 0.6-1.4 µM) isozymes. Also inhibits CK1α1 at much higher concentrations (IC50 = 11-21 µM). The inhibition is competitive with respect to ATP. Has only a trivial effect on p34cdc2 and p55fyn (IC50s >100 µM). Blocks the phosphorylation of p53 by CK1δ and CK1ε, thereby modulating p53′s effect on the cell cycle. At low micromolar concentrations, IC261 inhibits cytokinesis causing a transient mitotic arrest.

Biochem/physiol Actions
