UN-No:
Non-Hazardous - 3462 / 6.1

Pertussis toxin (islet-activating protein) is a toxin, first isolated from B. pertussis, that is used to study G protein-coupled receptor signaling in cells and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in animals. Pertussis toxin catalyzes the transfer of the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD to the α subunits of heterotrimeric Gi/o proteins, resulting in the receptors being uncoupled from Gi/o proteins.{31502,31505} Pertussis toxin is also used as an adjuvant, given with specific antigens, to immunize animals and induce EAE, an animal model of multiple sclerosis.{31501,31504} Pertussis toxin was first described as an islet-activating protein because it caused a sustained potentiation of the secretory response of pancreatic islet cells to various stimuli that stimulate Gi-linked α-adrenergic receptors.{31500,31503}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 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 – 1 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.
