Description
General description
UNC0638 enhances the E-cadherin expression in gemcitabine-resistant cell line (PANC-1-R).
Application
UNC0638 has been used to block G9a (a lysine methyltransferase) function in C2C12 cells. UNC0638 has also been reported to decrease H3K9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) levels and inhibit cell death in hair cells.
UNC0638 hydrate has been used:
in fractionation and isolation of human blood cells and cell nuclei
in the analysis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reactivation in latently infected cell line
to determine the effect of G9a and its enzymatic activity on cisplatin resistance
Biochem/physiol Actions
Histone methyltransferase inhibitor (HMT); G9a/GLP selective methyltransferase chemical probe.
UNC0638 hydrate is a histone methyltransferase (HMT) inhibitor. UNC0638 shows selectivity for G9a (EHMT2) and GLP (EHMT1) methyltransferases, which catalyze the methylation of lysine 9 of histone 3 (H3K9) as well as other non-histone substrates.
