AG Scientific Ponasterone A, 1 MG

Description:

Ponasterone A is an off-white powder that is part of the ecdysteroid family. It has properties that are similar to muristerone A. It is a steroid hormone in insects that plays a role in regulating metamorphosis. Ponasterone A is a powerful gene expression regulator that rapidly activates and deactivates reporter genes in cells and transgenic organisms.

Ponasterone A is an ecdysone A analog and can function as an economical and reliable substitute for muristerone A. It acts as an ecdysone-inducible mammalian expression system inducer. It is a very bioactive ligand in vivo, displaying continual release and transgene expression.

Applications:

• Regulation of gene expression
• Can increase cell number at G1 phase while also inhibiting cell growth
• Enables reporter genes to be turned off and on rapidly
• Researchers have used Ponasterone A for studies on iron-related conditions, various cancers in humans, and neurodegenerative diseases
