Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ GW2580 has been used to study its effect on paracrine signaling from stretched cardiomyocyte on cardiac fibroblast phenotype._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 5, 25 mg in glass bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ GW2580 is a cell-permeable, potent and selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of cFMS kinase, receptor for macrophage-colony stimulating factor, M-CSF or CSF-1, and a key regulator of macrophage and osteoclast activation and differentiation. FMS is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase that binds to the macrophage or monocyte colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF or CSF-1). Overexpression of CSF-1 and/or FMS has been implicated in a number of disease states including the growth of metastasis of some types of cancer, in promoting osteoclast proliferation in bone osteolysis, and in several inflammatory disorders. GW2580 selectively inhibits cFMS-mediated cellular functions in vitro at 0.06 μM as well as CSF-1-dependent tumor growth in vivo. GW2580 was inactive against 26 other kinases._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ This compound is a featured product for Kinase Phosphatase Biology research.
