De Minimis - 1544 / 6.1

The amino acid γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that acts through two families of heteromeric ligand-gated ion channels, GABAA and GABAC and a G protein-coupled receptor, GABAB. Muscimol is a full GABAA agonist and partial GABAC agonist. It binds GABAA on both high- and low-affinity sites (Kd = 10 and 270 nM, respectively), stimulating chloride efflux with an EC50 value of 200 nM.{18163} Benzodiazepines enhance the effects of muscimol via GABAA without altering its binding.{18163,18162} Muscimol activates GABAC receptors with an EC50 value of 1.3 μM.{18156} It also acts as an inhibitor of GABAA uptake and a substrate for the GABA-metabolizing enzyme GABA transaminase.{17741} Muscimol impairs memory formation and retrieval in mice and attenuates airway constriction in guinea pigs in vivo.{18159,18160}

    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 small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state; activity is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM

    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. SC-1 is a small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state.{14533} The activity of SC-1 is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM, respectively.{14533} Inhibition of RasGAP increases Ras signaling via the PI3-kinase pathway which promotes self-renewal, whereas inhibition of ERK blocks differentiation.
