Formula Weight: 995.17

CAS Number: 101043-37-2

Purity: >95%

Formulation: powder

Solubility: Soluble in DMSO, methanol, and ethanol

Applications

Protein phosphatase PP1 and PP2A inhibitor

 

Functions

A novel freshwater cyanotoxin. Tumor promoter. Potent and selective inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), IC50=0.04 nM.  PP1, IC50=1.7 nM and PP2B are less sensitive and PP2C is not inhibited (up to 4 μM). Considered to be cell-impermeable with the exception of hepatocytes which take it up via an organic anion transporter.

 

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO, methanol, and ethanol, then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO, methanol, and ethanol may be stored at -20°C for up to 2 months.
