Application

A-484954 has been used a selective and potent inhibitor to inhibit eEF2K (eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase), in order to check the enhancement of synaptic transmission in the stratum radiatum of the hippocampal CA1 region. It has also been used as an eEF2K inhibitor to monitor real-time luminescence of U2OS Arntl::dLUC cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A-484954 is a potent, selective inhibitor of eukaryotic longation factor-2 kinase (eEF2K). Eukaryotic elongation factor-2, which is required for protein synthesis, is inactivated upon phosphorylation by eEF2K.

Ketamine is a noncompetitive glutamatergic N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist that exerts rapid antidepressant effects. Preclinical studies identify eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2K) signaling as essential for the rapid antidepressant action of ketamine. Here, we combine genetic, electrophysiological, and pharmacological

Recent reports indicate that hypoxia influences the circadian clock through the transcriptional activities of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) at clock genes. Unexpectedly, we uncover a profound disruption of the circadian clock and diurnal transcriptome when hypoxic cells are permitted to acidify
