Tamoxifen (TMX) is a selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator used as adjuvant therapy for estrogen-dependent breast cancer.{17814} TMX treatment serves to increase ER activity in bone, uterus, and the cardiovasculature system as it decreases ER activity in breast tissues.{10559} TMX is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes to the active metabolites N-desmethyl-TMX, 4-hydroxy-N-desmethyl-TMX (endoxifen), and 4-hydroxy-TMX, indicating that certain CYP450 isoforms may be crucial for some of the effects of TMX.{20776} In addition, TMX binds microsomal antiestrogen binding sites, altering cholesterol esterification at therapeutic doses and impacting breast cancer cell differentiation, apoptosis, and autophagy.{20775}

    SC-1 – 1 mg

    The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 50 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.
