Product Information

• Name: 3-(N-Maleimidylpropionyl)biocytin
• Synonyms: N2-[3-(2,5-Dihydro-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-1-oxopropyl]-N6-[5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-hexahydro-2-oxo-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]-1-oxope ntyl]-L-lysine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-(N-Maleimidylpropionyl)biocytin is a cell-permeable, irreversible inhibitor of protein synthesis that binds to the epsilon amino group of aminoacyl adenosine. It has been found to inhibit the growth of fibrosarcoma cells in vitro. 3-(N-Maleimidylpropionyl)biocytin inhibits trypsin treatment, which is an enzyme that breaks down proteins. This property may be due to its ability to bind with the active site of trypsin and prevent it from working. 3-(N-Maleimidylpropionyl)biocytin also inhibits the expression of monoclonal antibodies in human serum and neutralizes proton transport in mammalian cells. The inhibition of proton transport is thought to be due to binding with integrin receptors on the membrane surface.
