General description
A potent, cell-permeable inhibitor of farnesyltransferase (FTase) that is about 37-fold more active against FTase (IC50 = 21 nM in vitro) than against geranylgeranyltransferase (GGTase; IC50 = 790 nM). Very resistant to proteolysis.

Serotonin neurotransmission is largely governed by the regulation of the serotonin transporter (SERT). SERT is modulated in part by cholesterol, but the role of cholesterol and lipid signaling intermediates in regulating SERT are unknown. Serotonergic neurons were treated with statins

Early embryos are vulnerable to environmental insults, such as medications taken by the mother. Due to increasing prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, more women of childbearing potential are taking cholesterol-lowering medications called statins. Previously, we showed that inhibition of the mevalonate pathway
