General description

Chemical structure: peptide

Application

Cyclosporin A is used for immunosuppressive studies .

Biochem/physiol Actions

A fungal metabolite possessing potent immunosuppressive properties. It inhibits the T-cell receptor signal transduction pathway via the formation of cyclosporin A−cyclophilin complex that inhibits calcineurin (protein phosphatase 2B). Inhibits nitric oxide synthesis induced by interleukin 1α, lipopolysaccharides and TNFα. Can block cytochrome c release from mitochondria.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep in a dry place.Storage class (TRGS 510): Non-combustible, acute toxic Cat.3 / toxic hazardous materials or hazardous materials causing chronic effects.
