KN-93 hydrochloride (Cat.No:I002498) is a potent and selective inhibitor of Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). It blocks the activity of CaMKII by preventing its association with calmodulin, a calcium-binding protein. KN-93 hydrochloride is widely used in research to investigate the role of CaMKII in cellular processes and signaling pathways.
