CAS 80736-41-0
:Castasterone
Description:
Castasterone, with the CAS number 80736-41-0, is a plant steroid hormone belonging to the brassinosteroid class, which plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. It is characterized by its ability to promote cell elongation, division, and differentiation, thereby influencing various physiological processes such as seed germination, flowering, and stress responses. Castasterone is typically found in low concentrations in plant tissues and is synthesized from cholesterol-derived precursors. Its structure features a steroid backbone with specific functional groups that contribute to its biological activity. This compound is known for its role in enhancing plant resistance to environmental stresses, including drought and salinity, making it significant in agricultural research and crop improvement strategies. Additionally, castasterone has been studied for its potential applications in biotechnology and horticulture, where it may be used to improve plant growth and yield. Overall, castasterone is an essential component of plant hormonal regulation, influencing a wide range of developmental processes.

CAS:Controlled ProductCastasterone is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sample preparation reagent. It is a cationic surfactant that interacts with the hydrophobic regions of DNA to form hydrogen bonds and thus extract it from the aqueous phase into the organic phase. Castasterone has been shown to have a matrix effect, which may be due to its transport properties. Castasterone has also been shown to inhibit prostate cancer cells by interacting with enzymes and altering their activities. This inhibition may be due to the ability of castasterone to bind with and inactivate cation channels in these cells.Formula:C28H48O5Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:464.68 g/mol
