2,3-dinor Prostaglandin E1 – 50 µg

Brand:
Cayman
CAS:
7046-40-4
Storage:
-20
UN-No:
De Minimis - 1170 / 3

Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) is not a major naturally occurring prostaglandin, but it is widely administered clinically for several indications including peripheral occlusive vascular disease, erectile dysfunction and in neonatal cardiology.{22,3803} The metabolism of PGE1 is normally initiated by oxidation at C-15, resulting in 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGE1 as the major metabolite. However, inhibition of this pathway or saturation by excess substrate could theoretically lead to enhanced production of 2,3-dinor metabolites, including 2,3-dinor PGE1. The biological activity of 2,3-dinor PGE1 has not been published. Cayman Chemical is a leading supplier of prostaglandins and their metabolites, and is currently the exclusive manufacturer of 2,3-dinor PGE1.

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

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 50 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}

    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.
