Produktinformation

• Name: 5-Methoxyindole-3-acetic acid
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 5-Methoxyindole-3-acetic acid (5MI) is an endogenous indole and metabolite of melatonin that is found in high concentrations in the human serum. 5MI has been shown to inhibit the activity of cyclase enzymes and may be a specific inhibitor of the type I form of estrone sulfate, which is involved in estrogen production. This agent also inhibits matrix metalloproteinases and aminotransferases, which are enzymes that play a role in oxidative injury. 5MI also has a fluorescent derivative that can be used as a probe for biological samples or to study the target enzyme.
