| Country of Origin | |||||
SAG is a highly potent agonist of SMO (smoothened). This small molecule compound activates the hedgehog pathway by directly binding to SMO.
Note: in the Gli-1 reporter gene assay, SAG acts as an activator at concentrations from approximately 1 nM to 1 uM, but as an inhibitor at concentrations high than 1 uM.
