Y-27632 --- Rock Inhibitor.

Y-27632 is a widely used, selective inhibitor of the Rho-associated protein kinase p160ROCK with a Ki value at ~ 0.14 μM. In many studies, it was shown and used to enhance the survival and cloning efficiency of many primary cell types after single cell dissociation without affecting their self-renewal properties, including hESC/iPSCs, neural stem cells, intestinal stem cells, and mammary epithelial cells.
