Application

TTNPB has been used for transcriptional assays in 293T cells4. It has also been used as a RAR-agonist in cultured human cord blood CD34+CD38-lin- cells5.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Selective and highly potent retinoic acid analog with affinity for retinoic acid receptors (RAR) α, β, and γ, which are nuclear transcription factors. Produces ligand-activated transcription of genes that possess retinoic acid responsive elements.

Features and Benefits

This compound is featured on the Nuclear Receptors (Non-Steroids) page of the Handbook of Receptor Classification and Signal Transduction. To browse other handbook pages, click here.

Preparation Note

TTNPB dissolves in CHCL3/MeOH (1/1) at 9.80 - 10.20 mg/ml to yield a clear, colorless to light yellow solution. It is also soluble at 10 mM in ethanol and at 25 mM in DMSO.
