A PKMζ inhibitor
Myr-ZIP is a cell-permeable inhibitor of the constitutively active protein kinase C (PKC) isoform PKMζ (Ki = 0.076-2.11 µM).1,2 It also inhibits PKCα when used at a concentration of 10 µM.3 Myr-ZIP (5 µM) prevents PKC translocation to the plasma membrane induced by ionomycin in HEK293 cells expressing A-kinase anchor protein 79 (AKAP79). Myr-ZIP inhibits the conditioned place preference response to morphine in rats when administered intracranially into the nucleus accumbens core at doses of 10 and 30 nmol/0.5 µl per side.4
