ATM inhibitor.
By Isabelle Cristine da Costa on 09/23/2021
Assay Type: In Vitro
Species: Human
Cell Line/Tissue: U2OS

I used this ATM inhibitor (ATMi - KU55933) to treat human osteosarcoma cells and then I blotted for pATM (S1981) and for pCHK2 (T68) to assess ATM inhibition. It works incredibly well!

Cell Cycle & DNA Damage Repair Poster

In normal cells, each stage of the cell cycle is tightly regulated, however in cancer cells many genes and proteins that are involved in the regulation of the cell cycle are mutated or over expressed. This poster summarizes the stages of the cell cycle and DNA repair. It also highlights strategies for enhancing replicative stress in cancer cells to force mitotic catastrophe and cell death.
