KT5720

KT5720 is a potent and selective inhibitor of protein kinase A (PKA). This compound blocks PKA signaling through competitive inhibition. It causes no significant effect on protein kinase C (PKC), protein kinase G (PKG) or myosin light chain kinase (mlCK). KT5720 has been shown to reversibly arrests human skin fibroblasts in the G1 phase. It is cell permeable.
