EpoY (SD-142) is an irreversible inhibitor of the brain's primary tubulin tyrosine carboxypeptidase (TCP), a complex formed by vasohibin-1 (VASH1) and the small vasohibin binding protein (SVBP). It inhibits TCP with an IC50 value of approximately 500 nM, leading to a decrease in detyrosinated alpha-tubulin levels, which is vital for microtubule dynamics and neuronal differentiation. This inhibition results in significant differentiation defects and has been linked to issues associated with cancer and cardiomyopathies.
