| Biochem/physiol Actions: | MG132, also known as carbobenzoxy-Leu-Leu-leuc |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Potent, membrane-permeable proteasome inhibitor. Induces neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells at 10 μM. Blocks cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and apoptosis in thymocytes. Proteasome inhibition induces accumulation of heat shock protein mRNA, activation of heat-shock proteins, and enhanced thermotolerance in various cell types: however, it also activates JNK-1, which initiates apoptosis in response to cell stress. |
| Features and Benefits: | • Ready-to-use solution in DMSO • Purity tested by HPLC |
| General description: | MG132 is a potent proteasome inhibitor that also inhibits calpains and lysosomal cathepsins. One of the first proteasome inhibitors to be developed, MG-132 is widely used in proteasome inhibition studies because of its high potency, high selectivity, and rapid reversibility. MG132 mechanistically acts as a proteasome inhibitor by hemiacetal formation with hydroxyl groups of active site threnonine residues. |
| Physical form: | MG-132, Ready Made Solution is supplied as a 10 mM (1 mg/210 μL) 0.2 μm-filtered solution in DMSO. |
