Calphostin C（Cat No.:M026227）is a potent and selective inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), a key regulator in signal transduction pathways. Isolated from Cladosporium cladosporioides, it functions by binding to the regulatory domain of PKC, interfering with its activation. Calphostin C is widely used in research to study PKC-related cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. Its photosensitivity adds a unique dimension, requiring light activation for its inhibitory effects. This compound is valuable in exploring PKC’s role in cancer, neurobiology, and other diseases involving dysregulated signaling pathways.
