Hh-Ag1.5

Description: Hh-Ag1.5 (SAG-1.5) is a potent Hedgehog (Hh) agonist (EC50: 1 nM) and Smoothened (Smo) receptor agonist, with an EC50 of 1 nM and Ki values between 0.5 and 2.3 nM for Smo. Hh-Ag1.5-mediated reprogramming breaks the quiescent state of non-injured hepatic stem cells and thus rescues liver failure. Hh-Ag1.5 induced differentiation of hiPSCs into skin precursor cells, spinal motor neurons and spinal sensory neurons. Target: Hedgehog/Smoothened.
