Description and Uses
NFAT activation inhibitor III is a cell-permeant inhibitor of signaling through nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). It binds the substrate recognition site of the phosphatase calcineurin (Kd = 0.8 μM), preventing it from binding and dephosphorylating NFAT. NFAT activation inhibitor III blocks the nuclear import of NFAT in T cells stimulated with ionomycin . It prevents the induced expression of cytokine mRNAs in T cells stimulated with phorbol ester and ionomycin.
INCA 6 inhibits nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) dephosphorylation and nuclear import, which in turn, interferes with downstream targets of NFAT including induction of cytokine mRNAs.
