Description
m-3M3FBS (200933-14-8) is an activator of phospholipase C (PLC). Stimulates superoxide generation, Ca2+ release and inositol phosphate release in a variety of cell types.1?Inhibits growth of U937 and THP-1 cells.2 m-3M3FBS also affects calcium homeostasis independently of PLC activation.3
Uses
m-3M3FBS is used in biological studies as phospholipase C activator m-3M3FBS effects on Ca2+ homeostasis independently of phospholipase C activation.
Uses
m-3M3FBS has been used for MAP kinase assay in 293T cells. It has also been used for intracellular calcium analysis
1. Furthermore, it has been used (at a conc. of 1 μM) as a PLC activator for sensitizing TRPA1 in HEK293t cells
2.
