A CFTR potentiator; increases the forskolin-induced CFTR-mediated epithelial current in cells expressing the G551D missense mutation by ~4-fold (EC50 = 100 nM); increases chloride secretion in cultured human cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial cells carrying the G551D mutation on one allele and the common ΔF508 processing mutation on the other allele; binds CFTR directly and leads to CFTR channel opening via an ATP-independent mechanism

Ivacaftor is an orally bioavailable potentiator of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that improves chloride transport.{25614} It increases the forskolin-induced CFTR-mediated epithelial current in cells expressing the G551D missense mutation associated with severe cystic fibrosis by approximately 4-fold (EC50 = 100 nM) but has no effect on current in the absence of forskolin.{25614} Ivacaftor increases chloride secretion in cultured human cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial cells carrying the G551D mutation on one allele and the common ΔF508 processing mutation on the other allele.{25614} It binds CFTR directly and leads to CFTR channel opening via an ATP-independent mechanism.{25613} Formulations containing ivacaftor have been used in the treatment of cystic fibrosis in patients carrying one or more mutations in the CFTR gene.

    SC-1 – 10 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.
