Product Description
Steroidal alkaloid. Blocks activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) response pathway. Binds to the heptahelical protein bundle of Smoothened. Induces expression of the transcription factor Pdx-1. Disrupts cholesterol biosynthesis. Displays anti-tumor properties. Induces apoptosis. Causes cyclopia.
