4alpha-Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, 99%, Thermo Scientific™
Description
This Thermo Scientific brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific.
Applications
4alpha-Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate is a non-tumor promoting phorbol ester derivative that has been used as a negative control for PMA, a tumor promoter and activator of PKC. However, 4α-PMA has also been shown to be a reasonably potent activator of TRPV4 channels, making it a useful tool for structure-activity investigations via comparison to the very similar compound, 4α-PDD, which demonstrates 50 times more affinity for TRPV4. Furthermore, this compound has also been shown to increase PGHS-2 mRNA significantly in murine keratinocytes.
Solubility
Soluble in DMSO, methanol or ethanol. Dilute stock solution into aqueous medium at final concentrations of ∼2-5µM
Notes
Light sensitive. Incompatible with oxidizing agents and heat.
