Biological Activity: Selective inhibitor of the Rho-associated protein kinase p160ROCK. Ki values are 0.14, 26, 25 and > 250 μM for p160ROCK, PKC, cAMP-dependent protein kinase and myosin light-chain kinase respectively. Also inhibits the protein kinase C-related protein kinase, PRK2 (IC50 = 600 nM). Smooth muscle relaxant and orally active in vivo. Increases survival rate of human embryonic stem (hES) cells undergoing cryopreservation.  Y-27632 is a cell-permeable, highly potent and selective inhibitor of Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK). Y-27632 inhibits both ROCKI (Ki = 220 nM) and ROCKII (Ki = 300 nM) by competing with ATP for binding to the catalytic site. Y-27632 is a biochemical tool used in the study of the rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) signaling pathways. Y-27632 selectively inhibits p160ROCK.
Y-27632 is highly potent, cell-permeable, selective ROCK (Rho-associated coiled coil forming protein serine/threonine kinase) inhibitor. Ki = 140 nM for p160ROCK. Y-27632 also inhibits ROCK-II with equal potency. The inhibition is competitive with respect to ATP.
