GA-017 (GA017) is a potent, selective, ATP-competitive LATS kinase (LATS1/2) inhibitor with IC50 of 4.10/3.92 nM, respectively, promotes cell growth.GA-017 increases the number and size of spheroids of various cell-types in both scaffold-based and scaffold-independent cultures.GA-017 also enhances the ex vivo formation of mouse intestinal organoids.GA-017 facilitates the growth of spheroids and organoids by stabilizing and translocating YAP/TAZ into the cell nucleus.GA-017 inhibits the Hippo pathway to promote YAP/TAZ stabilization and nuclear translocation.GA-017 induces expression of Hippo pathway-related genes such as ANKRD1, CYR61, and CTGF in SKOV3 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner.GA-017 inhibited the activity of 16 kinases of the AGC family at 100 nM against a panel of 321 diverse kinases.The serine/threonine protein kinases LATS (LATS1/2) phosphorylate YAP/TAZ, key effectors of the growth- and proliferation-regulating Hippo signaling pathway.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
