Characterization of molecular and cellular functions of the cyclin‐dependent kinase CDK9 using a novel specific inhibitor
8 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The cyclin-dependent kinase CDK9 is an important therapeutic target but currently available inhibitors exhibit low specificity and/or narrow therapeutic windows. Here we have used a new highly specific CDK9 inhibitor, LDC000067 to interrogate gene control mechanisms mediated by CDK9. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: The selectivity of LDC000067 was established in functional kinase assays. Functions...
