Cat. No.: HY-16690 Purity: 99.74%
COA Handling Instructions

BTS (N-Benzyl-p-toluenesulfonamide) is a potent and selective inhibitor of skeletal muscle myosin II subfragment 1 (S1) ATPase activity, with an IC50s of ~5 µM for actin- and Ca2+-stimulated myosin S1 ATPase. BTS specifically inhibits the contraction of fast skeletal muscle fibers.

Description

BTS (N-Benzyl-p-toluenesulfonamide) is a potent and selective inhibitor of skeletal muscle myosin II subfragment 1 (S1) ATPase activity, with an IC50s of ~5 µM for actin- and Ca2+-stimulated myosin S1 ATPase. BTS specifically inhibits the contraction of fast skeletal muscle fibers[1][2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: ~5 µM (skeletal muscle myosin II S1 ATPase)

In Vitro

BTS (2-12 μM) inhibits the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity of myosin S1 in the absence of actin, with an IC50 of ~5 µM[1].
BTS (2-20 μM) reversibly inhibits the gliding motility rate of heavy meromyosin (HMM)[1].
BTS (100 μM) releases myosin from actin in the presence of ADP[1].
BTS (0-20 μM) reversibly inhibits isometric Ca2+-activated tension in skinned skeletal muscle fibres from rabbit and frog, with IC50s of ~3 µM and 1 µM, respectively[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
