Biological Activity for SAG

SAG is a potent Smoothened (Smo) receptor agonist (K_d = 59 nM); antagonizes Cyclopamine (Cat. No. 1623) action at the Smo receptor. SAG potently activates the Hedgehog signaling pathway in Shh-light 2 cells (EC₅₀ ~ 3 nM) and induces pathway activation independently of Ptch proteins. SAG is a putative inhibitor of a cellular component required for Hedgehog signaling and also enhances neuronal differentiation of iPSCs into dopaminergic neurons.

SAG dihydrochloride (Cat. No. 6390) also available.
