U0126 is a MEK1/2 inhibitor that is used to study MEK and related signaling pathways. This inhibitor is selective for both MEK1 and MEK2, two specific types of MEK (MAPK kinases) that are elements of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. This compound is usually studied in the context of cancer treatment, ischemia, and cellular oxidative stress.
