Stemolecule™ SMO Antagonist
Stemolecule™ SMO Antagonist is an analog of SANT-2, an inhibitor of Sonic hedgehog signaling. Hedgehog signaling is involved in embryogenesis as well as cancer progression. The mechanism of action of SMO Antagonist is allosteric inhibition of Smoothened (SMO), an integral membrane protein mediator of Hedgehog signaling.
