Product Overview:
Mammalian Omi/HtrA2 is a serine protease localized in mitochondria with close homology to bacterial HtrA chaperones. It is released from the mitochondria in response to apoptotic stimuli whereupon it induces cell death through both a caspase-dependent manner and a mechanism that involves its protease activity. UCF 101 is an inhibitor of the proteolytic activity of Omi/HtrA2 (IC50 = 9.5 μM).{25354} It is highly specific for Omi/HtrA2, demonstrating less potent activity when tested against a panel of various other serine proteases (IC50s range from 200 to >500 μM).{25354} Additionally, UCF 101 is naturally fluorescent, thus enabling the visualization of its entry into cells.{25354} UCF 101 has been used to decrease cerebral infarct size in a rat model of cerebral ischemia, demonstrating neuroprotective effects by reducing apoptosis of cortical cells.{25355} It has also been reported to be protective of cardiomyocytes against ischemic injury through a mechanism that prevents Omi/HtrA2 proteolysis of Thanatos-associated protein 5, a cardiac-specific nuclear protein that controls cell cycle progression.{25356}

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
