Product Information

• Name: N-(Propionyloxy)succinimide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-(Propionyloxy)succinimide (NPS) is an analog of the natural hormone cortisol. It binds to the glucocorticoid receptor and activates it by binding to the cytoplasmic region of the receptor, which leads to inhibition of the transcription factor c-jun. This inhibits tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) production, leading to decreased epidermal growth factor (EGF) synthesis, and prevents monocyte chemotaxis. NPS also has a high affinity for kidney bean α-amylase and can be used as a probe in studies investigating this enzyme.
