Genipin is a natural crosslinking reagent derived from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis fruits. It inhibits UCP2 (uncoupling protein 2) in cells and exhibits various bioactivities. This product is suitable for research on protein modulation, antitumor, anti-inflammation, immunosuppression, antithrombosis, protection of hippocampal neurons, and type 2 diabetes.
- Inhibits UCP2 in cells
- Exhibits protein modulation, antitumor, anti-inflammation, immunosuppression, antithrombosis, and hippocampal neuron protection
- Useful for type 2 diabetes research
- Increases mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP levels
- Stimulates insulin secretion in pancreatic islet cells
- Activates pathways leading to glucose transporter 4 translocation and increased glucose uptake
- Increases cytochrome c content in the cytosol of treated FaO cells
- Activates caspase-3 and caspase-7, contributing to apoptotic processes
