Scientific Background | RK 682 is a naturally derived inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases, known for its ability to arrest cell cycle progression at the G1 phase. While its primary applications have been in cancer and immunology, RK 682's modulation of phosphatase activity has relevance in neuroscience, particularly in the regulation of neuronal signaling and synaptic plasticity. Protein tyrosine phosphatases are involved in neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative processes, making RK 682 a useful probe for studying phosphatase-mediated pathways in neuronal health and disease. |
