Empower Your Research: CD BioGlyco's Cutting-edge Inhibitors

The functions of cells are regulated by the kind of communication system known as a signal pathway, composed of a variety of proteins and other molecules, working together to perform basic functions such as growth, repair, or metabolism. Inhibitors are molecules that may interfere with the activity of a single or several components within an active signal pathway. They bind to the enzymes or proteins involved in these pathways and block, or change, signals released from them. Therefore, inhibitors provide invaluable tools for developing a flexible approach to understanding different types of disease.
