Cefotetan is a binding agent that targets human Raf1 kinase inhibitor protein (hRKIP). Cefotetan binds to hRKIP, reduces the binding space between hRKIP and Raf1 kinase, relieves hRKIP's inhibition of the Ras/Raf1/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, and enhances ERK phosphorylation. Cefotetan can be used to study diseases associated with dysregulated Ras/Raf1/MEK/ERK signaling pathways. Cefotetan is also a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that disrupts cell wall synthesis by binding to bacterial penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). It is used to study bacterial infections such as bone, skin, urinary tract, and lower respiratory tract.

In Vitro

Cefotetan (20-80 μM; 30 min) significantly increases HEK293T and HeLa cells ERK phosphorylation levels, and this effect is more pronounced in cells overexpressing hRKIP[1].
Cefotetan is active against both Gram-positive bacteria (such as Staphylococci and Streptococci) and Gram-negative bacteria (such as Enterobacter and Haemophilus influenzae), and is highly stable against plasmid- and chromosome-mediated β-lactamases. 0.5 mg/L Cefotetan inhibits 75% of Enterobacter, 4 mg/L Cefotetan inhibits 90% of Enterobacter, and the MIC of Cefotetan against Neisseria gonorrhoeae is 0.06-2 mg/L[2].

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.
