An Eendogenous inhibitory amino acid; inhibits GABA uptake by mouse GAT1

Hypotaurine – 250 mg

Brand:
Cayman
CAS:
300-84-5
Storage:
-20
UN-No:
Non-Hazardous - /

Hypotaurine is an endogenous inhibitory amino acid.{45691} It inhibits GABA uptake by mouse GABA transporter 1 (GAT1), GAT2, GAT3, and GAT4 (IC50s = 170, 240, 4.9, and 8.1 μM, respectively) and rat GAT1, GAT2, and GAT3 (IC50s = 1,010, 52, and 73 μM, respectively). Hypotaurine also inhibits GABA uptake by betaine/GABA transporter 1 (BGT1) in L-M(TK-) cells expressing the human transporter (IC50 = 380 μM).{45692} It inhibits sodium-stimulated GABA uptake by rabbit choroid plexus slices (IC50 = 21.9 μM).{45693} It scavenges hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hydroxyl, but not superoxide, radicals in cell-free assays.{45694} Hypotaurine (1 mM) protects rat TR-TBT 18d-1 placental trophoblasts from hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death.{45695}

  • 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}

    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.
