General description

Sulfhydryl alkylating reagent that inhibits H+-ATPase and suppresses the short circuit current (IC50 = 22 µM) in pancreatic duct cells. Inactivates NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. Also a potent inhibitor of both Mg2+ and Ca2+/Mg2+-stimulated DNA fragmentation in rat liver nuclei. Stimulates arachidonic acid release through activation of PLA2 in endothelial cells.
Sulfhydryl alkylating reagent. Has been used for blocking sulfhydryl containing reagents which interfere with glucose oxidase assays. Inactivates NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. Endonuclease inhibitor. Also a potent inhibitor of both Mg2+ and Ca2+/Mg2+-stimulated DNA fragmentation in rat liver nuclei.
