CAS Number: 2379502-67-5
Format: Synthetic Nuclear Receptor Ligand (Small Molecule)
Chemical Description
SLU-PP-332 is a synthetic compound characterized as a pan-agonist of the Estrogen-Related Receptor (ERR) family, with high affinity for ERRα, ERRβ, and ERRγ isoforms. Unlike natural ligands, this small molecule is designed to stabilize the active conformation of these nuclear receptors, thereby promoting the recruitment of coactivators such as PGC-1α. It is widely used in biochemical research to model the upregulation of gene networks governing cellular energy homeostasis and mitochondrial respiration in vitro.
