Application

Y-27632 dihydrochloride has been used:as a medium supplement in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma organoid culturein the inhibition of Ras homolog gene family (Rho) kinase in mouse embryonic stem cellsin the inhibition of Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) in human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Y-27632 is highly potent, cell-permeable, selective ROCK (Rho-associated coiled coil forming protein serine/threonine kinase) inhibitor. K_i = 140 nM for p160^ROCK. Y-27632 also inhibits ROCK-II with equal potency. The inhibition is competitive with respect to ATP.
