Synthetic organic
Comment: JQEZ5 is a potent and selective inhibitor of the histone methyltransferase EZH2 (enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit) [2-4]. A commonly identified somatic gain-of-function mutation in human EZH2 (Y646F), recapitulated in a mouse model (Y641F) induces tumourigenesis by massively redistributing repressive trimethylated Lys27 histone H3 marks, leading to altered repression and activation of polycomb-regulated loci.
JQEZ5 was developed at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and is openly available as a research probe. ![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |
