Apexbio Technology LLC HEMIN CHLORIDE 25G
Hemin chloride (CAS 16009-13-5) is an oxidized derivative of heme known to inhibit eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 kinase 1 (eIF2 K1) a negative regulator of eIF-2 EIF2 phosphorylation at Ser51 generally transforms eIF2 into an inhibitor of its guanine-nucleotide exchange factor eIF2 In biochemical assays Hemin chloride (20 40 M) reduces phosphorylation of eIF-2 and eIF-2 enhancing translation activity in cellular lysates Animal studies show hemin administration induces heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression and delays thrombus formation in mice demonstrating its usefulness in translational regulation and vascular biology research
