Y-27632 (Rho Kinase Inhibitor)

Y-27632 is a chemical compound that inhibits Rho kinase, an enzyme involved in regulating cell movement, contraction, and growth. By blocking this enzyme, Y-27632 can influence processes like tissue repair, nerve growth, and blood vessel formation. It is often used in scientific research to study cellular behaviors and has potential therapeutic applications for conditions such as fibrosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and vascular disorders. Its ability to modulate cell dynamics makes it a valuable tool for understanding and potentially treating various medical conditions.
