Abscisic acid  (Synonyms: (S)​-​(+)​-​Abscisic acid; ABA)

Cat. No.: HY-100560 Purity: 99.78%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Abscisic acid ((S)-(+)-Abscisic acid), an orally active phytohormone in fruits and vegetables, is an endogenously produced mammalian hormone. Abscisic acid is a growth inhibitor and can regulate many aspects of plant growth and development. Abscisic acid inhibits proton pump (H+-ATPase) and leads to the plasma membrane depolarization in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Abscisic acid, a LANCL2 natural ligand, is a potent insulin-sensitizing compound and has the potential for pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

    In Vitro

    In Arabidopsis cell cultures, Abscisic acid ((S)-(+)-Abscisic acid; 10 μM) simultaneously induces rapid alkalinization of the medium and plasma membrane depolarization[1].
    Abscisic acid (10 μM) increases Ca2+ in cytosol of Arabidopsis cell suspension. Abscisic acid does not inhibit proton pumping directly but through an increase in cytosolic Ca2+[1].
    Lanthionine synthetase C-like 2 (LANCL2) is the natural receptor for Abscisic acid. Abscisic acid, both at the organism levels and in specific muscle cells ex vivo, increases both glucose and fatty acid metabolism in the mitochondria, increases glycogen synthesis, activates PI3K independently of insulin and promotes GLUT4 translocation to the cell membrane[2].

    Abscisic acid (orally; 0.125 μg/kg/day; for 12 weeks) results in significantly lower levels of TNF, MCP-1 and IL-6 in the DIO model. Abscisic acid increases metabolic activity in skeletal muscle[2].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (18.92 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (18.92 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    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.
