Application

Reported to be of use as a thiol oxidizing agent. Diamide has been used to titrate protein glutathiolation to discriminate from other oxidative protein modifications. Treatment increased protein glutathiolation in a concentration-dependent manner and had comparably little effect on protein-protein disulfide formation.

We describe a Pap1-Oxs1 pathway for diamide-induced disulfide stress in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, where the nucleocytoplasmic HMG protein Oxs1 acts cooperatively with Pap1 to regulate transcription. Oxs1 and Pap1 form a complex when cells are exposed to diamide or Cd that

Protein thiolation by glutathione is a reversible and regulated post-translational modification that is increased in response to oxidants and nitric oxide. Because many mitochondrial enzymes contain critical thiol residues, it has been hypothesized that thiolation reactions regulate cell metabolism and

Anthranilic diamides, which include the new commercial insecticide, chlorantraniliprole, are an exciting new class of chemistry that target insect ryanodine receptors. These receptors regulate release of stored intracellular calcium and play a critical role in muscle contraction. As with insects

Uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) is used by cells to control reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by mitochondria. This ability depends on the glutathionylation state of UCP2. UCP2 is often overexpressed in drug resistant cancer cells and therein controls cell ROS levels
