Description: XIE62-1004 is a chemical compound that induces the interaction between p62 and LC3 by binding to the ZZ domain of p62. This interaction promotes p62 self-aggregation and its subsequent interaction with LC3 on autophagosome membranes, thereby facilitating the delivery of cargo proteins to the...

XIE62-1004 is an inducer of autophagy. It increases the number of p62 aggregates, as well as the number of autophagosomes and autolysosomes, in wild-type HeLa cervical cancer cells, but not in HeLa cells deficient in the gene encoding p62, SQSTM1, when used at a concentration of 10 µM. XIE62-1004 induces autophagic...
