 Use of FTase Inhibitor I


Ftase inhibitor I (B581) is a potent, selective and peptidomimetic farnesyl transferase (FTase) inhibitor. Ftase inhibitor I shows selectivity for FTase over geranylgeranyl isoprenoid (Ras-GG) or the fatty acid myristate (Myr-Ras)[1].

Description Ftase inhibitor I (B581) is a potent, selective and peptidomimetic farnesyl transferase (FTase) inhibitor. Ftase inhibitor I shows selectivity for FTase over geranylgeranyl isoprenoid (Ras-GG) or the fatty acid myristate (Myr-Ras)[1].
