General description
A cell-permeable pyrimidine compound that acts as a potent and selective activator of Wnt signaling without inhibiting the activity of GSK-3β (IC50 >60 µM). Shown to mimic the effect of Wnt and induce β-catenin and TCF (T-cell fate)-dependent transcriptional activity (EC50 = 700 nM in HEK-293T cells), and cause substantial head defects during Xenopus embryonic development. Also available as a 10 mM solution in DMSO (Cat. No. 681664).
