产品描述 | Demethylasterriquinone B1 (DMAQ B1) is a natural insulin mimic that activates insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IRTK; EC50 = 6 μM).[1],[2],[3],[4] It less potently activates IGF1R and EGFR (EC50s = 100 μM for both). DMAQ B1 induces glucose uptake in adipocytes and skeletal muscle cells without activating proliferation. DMAQ B1 binds GAPDH in vitro.[5] Reference: [1]. Salituro, G.M., Pelaez, F., and Zhang, B.B.
