Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Puromycin is an antibiotic protein synthesis inhibitor which causes premature chain termination during translation. Puromycin is a cinnamamido ADENOSINE found in STREPTOMYCES alboniger. Puromycin inhibits protein synthesis by binding to RNA. Puromycin is an antineoplastic and antitrypanosomal agent and is used in research as an inhibitor of protein synthesis. Puromycin also serves an an anticancer drug by supressing the growth and metastasis in esophagus cancer cells by Akt phosphorylation.

Product Data
Biological target:
Puromycin inhibits protein synthesis by binding to RNA. It is an antineoplastic and antitrypanosomal agent and is used in research as an inhibitor of protein synthesis. It also serves an an anticancer drug by suppressing the growth and metastasis in esophagus cancer cells by Akt phosphorylation.
In vitro activity:
The effects of Puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) were investigated on podocytes in the context of diabetic nephropathy. PAN treatment had a dose- and time-dependent inhibitory effect on podocyte proliferation, suggesting its role in suppressing cell growth. KLF5 overexpression induced cell cycle arrest in podocytes when regulated by PAN. KLF5 overexpression was shown to inhibit PAN-induced apoptosis of podocyte. Reference: Mol Med Rep. 2018 Oct;18(4):3843-3849. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30106142/
In vivo activity:
In adult zebrafish, puromycin administration led to kidney injury, causing rapid clearance of substances from the kidney and resulting in morphological changes in the kidney structure, which recovered over time. During the process of nephron injury and regeneration, various molecular markers associated with kidney injury and repair showed significant changes, including increased expression of renal progenitor marker lhx1a and upregulation of NFκB, TNFα, Nampt, and p-ERK.
