- Highly specific, potent, and cell-permeable inhibitor of PP1 and PP2A
- Potent non-phorbol type tumor promoter
- Highly cited
Calyculin A is a cell-permeable and potent inhibitor with high specificity for protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A). Treatment of MCF7 cells (breast cancer line) with 100nM of Calyculin A produced rapid (<20 min.) but incomplete inhibition of both PP1 (~60%) and PP2A (~70%). Calyculin A has no effect on acid or alkaline phosphatases at 1µM. Calyculin A inhibits p130cas tyrosine phosphorylation, enhances the phosphorylation level of NF-κB, affects intracellular signalling processes that require 14-3-3, prevents γ-radiation induced apoptosis, stimulates contraction of smooth muscle, induces intracellular protein phosphorylation in cultured human keratinocytes, and inhibits apoptosis.
