Description
Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). 17-AAG is a less toxic analog than geldanamycin. It induces apoptosis and displays antitumor effects. 17-AAG inhibits the activity of oncogenic proteins such as N-ras, Ki-ras, c-Akt, and p185erB2.
Packaging

Application

17-(Allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) inhibits heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), the expression of heat shock factor-1, and the activity of oncogenic proteins such as N-ras, Ki-ras, c-Akt, and p185erB2. In addition to its anti-tumor effects, 17-AAG also induces apoptosis.
