Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is the primary cellular receptor for NO. NO binds and activates a heme group in sGC, initiating the conversion of GTP to the second messenger cGMP. cGMP subsequently mediates a number of signaling cascades leading to vasorelaxation and inhibiting smooth muscle proliferation, leukocyte recruitment, and platelet aggregation. Oxidation of the heme results in its dissociation from sGC and an impairment of NO signaling, which has been linked to hypertension, hyperlidemia, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.{26751} Cinaciguat is an activator of sGC that binds to a regulatory site, resulting in activation in an NO-independent manner (Kd = 3.2 nM).{29430} It activates the enzyme even if it has been oxidized or rendered heme deficient.{29430} In animals, cinaciguat has been shown to reduce hypertension, limit cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, protect against ischemia/reperfusion injury, and reduce morbidity and mortality in response to endotoxic shock.{29430,29428,29429,29431}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 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}
