Caloxin 3A1 – 1 mg

Overview

Caloxin 3A1 is an innovative peptide specifically designed to inhibit plasma membrane calcium pumps (PMCAs), making it a valuable tool for researchers studying calcium signaling and muscle physiology. As a member of the caloxin family, this peptide selectively targets PMCAs without affecting the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-pump, allowing for precise modulation of calcium levels in cellular environments. This selectivity is crucial for those investigating the roles of calcium in various physiological processes.

Key Features

• Inhibits plasma membrane calcium pumps (PMCAs)
• Does not inhibit the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-pump
• Prevents formation of acylphosphate intermediate from ATP
• Ideal for calcium signaling research
• Available in a convenient 1 mg quantity

FAQ

What is the mechanism of action of Caloxin 3A1?

Caloxin 3A1 works by specifically inhibiting plasma membrane calcium pumps, thus affecting calcium transport across the cell membrane, while leaving other calcium pump systems unaffected.

How should I store Caloxin 3A1?

For optimal stability, store Caloxin 3A1 at -20°C in a dry environment, and protect it from light exposure.

Can I use Caloxin 3A1 in live cell experiments?

Yes, Caloxin 3A1 can be used in live cell assays to study the effects of calcium signaling and pump inhibition; however, proper control experiments are recommended to validate results.
