Application

This protein phosphatase inhibitor 1 is suitable for use as a substrate to identify novel phosphatases and kinases that modulate protein phosphatase inhibitor 1 activity. This product is also suitable for use in affinity pull-down binding studies. Protein Phosphatase Inhibitor 1 human has been used as a component in the sucrose cell lysis buffer. It has also been used for intraperitoneal injection of mice prior to natterins or saline treatment in pharmacological intervention studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Intimately involved in glycogen metabolism as an inhibitor of phosphorylase phosphatase, the enzyme responsible for conversion of phosphorylase b to phosphorylase a. Inhibition is invoked only upon phosphorylation by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Physical form

Supplied as a solution in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.0, containing 0.1 mM PMSF, 14 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, and 10% glycerol
