Biological Activity
Oct 4 activator; enhances iPSC reprogramming four-fold and accelerates the appearance of iPSC colonies in combination with 4F (Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4). Also induces cardiomyocyte-like cells from human fibroblasts, as part of the 9C cocktail (CHIR99021, A83-01, BIX01294, AS83541, SC1, Y27632, SU 16f, JNJ10198409 and OAC-2)
