Used in research to study focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling pathways, which play key roles in cell migration, survival, and proliferation. It helps investigate cancer progression and metastasis by selectively inhibiting FAK activity. Commonly applied in preclinical studies to evaluate potential anti-tumor therapies, particularly in models of solid tumors. Also utilized to explore integrin-mediated cellular processes and to assess the therapeutic potential of FAK inhibition in combination with other anticancer agents.
