DAPT is a γ-secretase inhibitor that indirectly inhibits Notch, a γ-secretase substrate. Since Notch is involved in the development of the nervous system and pancreas, DAPT has been suggested to be used in the modulation of Notch activity in embryonic stem cell differentiation. As an inhibitor of γ-secretase, DAPT may also be useful in the study of β-amyloid (Aβ) formation.
