AM580 is a retinoic acid receptor agonist that is selective for RARα (Kd = 8 nM; AC50 = 0.36 nM) compared to RARβ (Kd = 131 nM; AC50 = 24.6 nM) and RARγ (Kd = 450 nM; AC50 = 27.9 nM).{24736} It demonstrates greater specific binding to RARα compared to retinoic acid (Item No. 11017), which exhibits little selectivity across RARα, β, or γ.{24736,18516,20156} AM580 has been used in combination with the GSK3β inhibitor CHIR99021 (Item No. 13122) to efficiently induce differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into immediate mesoderm.{25645} It can also inhibit the proliferation of various tumor cells, inhibiting survival signaling pathways and inducing apoptosis.{25647,25646}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 25 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) – 500 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}
