| Application: | MB-3 has been used as a general control non-repressible 5 (GCN5) inhibitor: • to study its effects on lamin A/C-associated pY19-Cav-2-mediated histone H3 acetylations • to analyze its effects on the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings • to study its effects on craniofacial chondrocyte maturation |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | MB-3 can modify the gene expression in murine embryonic stem cells as well as yeast. It hinders the acetyltransferase activity of general control non-repressible 5 (GCN5) by binding to acetyl CoA pocket present in GCN5. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | MB-3 is a Gcn5 HAT (Histone Acetyltransferase) inhibitor; anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic. |
