This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Acros Organics product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Acros Organics product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Description

• Paclitaxel is a naturally ocurring compound originally isolated from the tree T. brevifolia
• Paclitaxel binds tubulin and stabilizes microtubule formation, preventing disassembly
• Paclitaxel is used as a drug to arrest cells at the mitotic checkpoint and block cell cycle progression, thus inducing death of cancer cells

Applications

• Paclitaxel can be used in preclinical laboratory research on diseases such as cancer, heart disease, inflammatory disorders, and hepatic fibrosis
• Paclitaxel can be used as a tool in cell biology to study mitotic checkpoint arrest conditions and downstream signaling cascades
