Eurofins Discoverx VX-809 (Lumacaftor), 5 mg. (92-1248)
Supplier: Eurofins Discoverx 921248

VX-809 (Lumacaftor) is an experimental pharmacochaperone drug for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in development by Vertex Pharmaceuticals. VX-809 is designed to be effective in patients that have the F508del mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the defective protein that causes the disease. F508del, meaning that the amino acid phenylalanine in position 508 is missing, is found in about 60% of cystic fibrosis patients in Europe, and in about 90% of persons with some mutation in the CFTR gene. Provided as 5mg of dry powder. These highly purified, pre-validated control ligands have been used to qualify our InCELL Hunter, PathHunter and cAMP Hunter cell lines as well as our Assay Ready Kits. Ligands are conveniently supplied with a recommended reconstitution buffer. For detailed information and product-specific datasheet, visit www.discoverx.com/ligands.
