An Introduction to Inhibitors and Their Biological Applications

The Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway plays an important role in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell migration, and cell death. It is the principal signaling mechanism for a variety of cytokines and growth factors. Constitutive activation or dysregulation of JAK/STAT signaling can result in inflammatory disease, erythrocytosis, gigantism, and leukemia.

Human Kinome Poster: The InhibitorSelect™ Protein Kinase Inhibitor Libraries provide broad coverage of the human kinome as shown here. The depicted human kinome dendrogram of 518 kinases are classified into five broad groups, 90 families, and 145 subfamilies. Inhibitor coverage was assigned based upon published data related to potency (IC50, EC50, Kd, etc.) for individual kinases harvested from the literature. Colored dots denote which library contains an inhibitor with demonstrated potent activity against the designated kinase and do not necessarily reflect known specificity of the inhibitor. Coverage of lipid and atypical kinases are depicted as a separate dendrogram. As shown, Calbiochem® Protein Kinase Inhibitor Libraries cover all major kinase families including TK, CMGC, CAMK, AGC, CK1, STE, TKL, as well as Lipid or Atypical kinase families.
