γ-Tocotrienol is a form of vitamin E that has been found in rice bran and has diverse biological activities.{3679,14290} It reduces cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide, paraquat, S-nitrocysteine, SIN-1 (Item No. 82220), or L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO; Item No. 14484) in rat striatal cultures when used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 µM.{14290} γ-Tocotrienol (20 µM) induces apoptosis in malignant sympathoadrenal (+SA) mouse mammary epithelial cells.{14293} In vivo, γ-tocotrienol (15, 30, and 150 mg/kg) reduces blood pressure and plasma lipid peroxide levels in spontaneously hypertensive rats.{14294}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 100 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 250 mg

    The tetracycline repressor (TetR) is a transcriptional regulator which normally binds tightly to its palindromic tetO operator DNA, blocking gene expression.{17508} Tet causes the repressor to dissociate from the DNA, allowing transcription to occur. A novel reverse TetR (revTetR) requires tetracycline as a co-repressor to bind tetO and block transcription.{17509,17510} Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) is a powerful effector in both the tetracycline repressor (TetR) and reverse TetR (revTetR) systems, binding the Tet repressor 35-fold more strongly than Tet.{17508,17511} Moreover, anhydrotetracycline poorly binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, compared to Tet,{17512} so it does not act as a general inhibitor of translation and is a poor antibiotic. Perhaps related to this, the concentration of anhydrotetracycline that inhibits eukaryotic cell growth is more than a 1,000-fold above the dose that alters transcription through TetR.{17508}
