Used in biochemical research to study protein-protein interactions, particularly as a potent and selective inhibitor of the L3MBTL3 methyllysine reader domain. Helps probe the role of epigenetic regulation in cellular processes such as transcription and chromatin remodeling. Employed in studies aiming to understand the impact of methyllysine signaling in disease models, including cancer and developmental disorders. Also serves as a tool compound for validating L3MBTL3 as a therapeutic target in drug discovery efforts.
