Bullatine A (5-45 μM, 24 h) downregulates p-ERK and Myc and dose-dependently inhibits H3K9Ac、H3K56Ac while upregulating SIRT6 in U87MG cells[4].
Bullatine A (50 μM, 24 h) inhibits eATP-induced mitochondrial calcium overload, increased ER-mitochondria colocalization, activation of PERK-elF-2α UPR, lysosome production, elevated NLRP3 inflammasome protein expression, and reduced viability in BV-2 cells[5].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
