N-Acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-cysteine

SKU: orb1309984

Description

Arazine is a cell-permeable, N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-cysteine derivative that modulates G protein and GPCR signaling by acting as a competitive substrate for isoprenylcysteine methyltransferase. This activity makes it a valuable research tool for investigating prenylated protein function in both cellular and biochemical assays.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Arazine (2,000 μg/20 μl) produces a dose-dependent inhibition of the TPA-induced edema, with the maximal reduction of edema approaching 73%, with an ED50 of 55 μg/20 μl.
• In Vitro:
  Arazine (10–100 μM; 8h) significantly affects the HMEC-1 cell viability as measured by trypan blue exclusion in HMEC-1 cell. Arazine (2h) inhibits ATPγS induced CXCL1, CXCL8 and CCL2 production as a dose-dependent manner in HMEC-1 cell.
