Application

SMIFH2 was used to decipher the role of mDia2 in controlling microtubule dynamics and myofibroblast differentiation.1

Biochem/physiol Actions

SMIFH2 is an inhibitor of formin homology 2 domains. The compound is a first small molecule inhibitor of formin-mediated actin assembly that disrupts formin dependent processes from yeast to mammals. SMIFH2 may be a useful drug for identifying cellular processes dependent on formin-mediated actin assembly in a broad range of experimental systems. Formin is an actin nucleation factor.

Cell migration in 3D microenvironments is a complex process which depends on the coordinated activity of leading edge protrusive force and rear retraction in a push-pull mechanism. While the potentiation of protrusions has been widely studied, the precise signalling and

The process of pollen germination is crucial for flowering plant reproduction, but the mechanisms through which pollen grains establish polarity and select germination sites are not well understood. In this study, we report that a formin family protein, AtFH5, is localized

The small molecular inhibitor of formin FH2 domains, SMIFH2, is widely used in cell biological studies. It inhibits formin-driven actin polymerization in vitro, but not polymerization of pure actin. It is active against several types of formin from different species.

Integrin engagement within the immune synapse enhances T cell activation, but our understanding of this process is incomplete. In response to T cell receptor (TCR) ligation, SLP-76 (LCP2), ADAP (FYB1) and SKAP55 (SKAP1) are recruited into microclusters and activate integrins

A primary cilium is found on most mammalian cells, where it acts as a cellular antenna for the reception of both mechanical and chemical signals. A variety of diseases are associated with defective ciliogenesis, reflecting the ubiquity of the function
