CD-2394

CD-2394 is a synthetic retinoid that impedes cell proliferation by reducing the G2/M-phase population and disrupts normal differentiation. It uniquely induces keratin 13 expression, suggesting the activation of an embryonic differentiation pathway, distinct from standard keratinocyte differentiation processes. This compound is a valuable research tool for studying cell cycle control, retinoid biology, and alternative differentiation mechanisms in both in vitro and ex vivo skin models.
