Biological Activity

Description SAG (Smoothened Agonist) HCl is a cell-permeable Smoothened (Smo) agonist with EC50 of 3 nM in Shh-LIGHT2 cells.
Targets
Smoothened [1]
(mouse cultured cell assay)
3 nM(EC50)
In vitro

SAG regulates Smo activity by binding directly to the Smo heptahelical bundle. [1]

SAG induces Smo-dependent signaling through Gli in a GRK2-dependent way. [2]

SAG also (1 nM) induces proliferation of neuronal and glial precursors without affecting the differentiation pattern of newly produced cells. [3]
In vivo

In the adult rat hippocampus, the intracerebroventricular administration of SAG (2.5 nM) significantly increases the number of newly generated cells and extends survival of hippocampal cells. [3]

In mice, SAG (20 μg/g, i.p.) effectively prevents GC-induced neonatal cerebellar developmental abnormalities. [4]

Protocol (from reference)

Kinase Assay:

[1]
  • Cell-Based Assays for Hh Pathway Activation

    Assays for Hh pathway activation in Shh-LIGHT2 cells, a clonal NIH 3T3 cell line stably incorporating Gli-dependent firefly luciferase and constitutive Renilla luciferase reporters, are conducted. For studies of SAG (a chlorobenzothiophene-containing Hh pathway agonist) and PA-SAG, Shh-LIGHT2 cells are cultured to confluency in 96-well plates and then treated with various concentrations of these compounds in DMEM containing 0.5% (vol/vol) bovine calf serum.
