EPZ-6438 (Cat No.: I001546) is a small-molecule inhibitor that specifically targets the enzymatic activity of enhancer of zest homolog 2 (EZH2). EZH2 is a histone methyltransferase enzyme involved in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. By inhibiting the enzymatic activity of EZH2, EPZ-6438 disrupts the methylation of histone proteins, leading to alterations in gene expression patterns. EPZ-6438 is known for its potent and selective inhibition of EZH2, making it a valuable tool in studying the function and therapeutic potential of EZH2 in various diseases, including cancer.
