Description
OSMI-1 is a cell-permeable O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 2.7 µM. OSMI-1 inhibits protein O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAcylation) in several mammalian cell lines without qualitatively altering cell surface N- or O-linked glycan.Application：OSMI-1 (OGT with a small molecule inhibitor) has been used in proximal ligation assay, Sox2 (SRY (sex determining region Y)-Box 2 ) dual luciferase reporter assay, Sox2 ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) and other in vivo approaches, to study the O-Linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) mediated regulation of self-renewal genes in cancer. It has also been used to study the Hippo pathway regulation mediated by O-GlcNAc transferase
