Actinine  (Synonyms: γ-Butyrobetaine; Deoxycarnitine)

Cat. No.: HY-113270 Purity: 99.90%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Actinine is a metabolic and pro-atherogenic intermediate with oral activity. Actinine acts as a substrate for the yeaW/X microbial enzyme complex to generate trimethylamine (TMA). Actinine accelerates atherosclerosis development in a gut microbe-dependent manner. Actinine can be used for the research of atherosclerosis.

Description

Actinine is a metabolic and pro-atherogenic intermediate with oral activity. Actinine acts as a substrate for the yeaW/X microbial enzyme complex to generate trimethylamine (TMA). Actinine accelerates atherosclerosis development in a gut microbe-dependent manner. Actinine can be used for the research of atherosclerosis[1].

In Vitro

Actinine (γBB) served as a substrate for the microbial enzyme complex yeaW/X from E. coli, which exhibited TMA lyase activity[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Dietary supplementation with γBB (1.3% gm/gm; dietary supplementation; from weaning until 19 weeks of age) increases aortic root atherosclerotic plaque area by 50% in a gut microbe-dependent manner[1].
Chronic dietary supplementation with γBB (1.3% gm/gm; dietary supplementation; from weaning until 10 weeks of age) induces gut microbial functional capacity to produce TMA and TMAO from γBB but not from L-carnitine[1].
Gut microbial colonization is required for γBB (gastric gavage) conversion to TMA and TMAO, while γBB conversion to carnitine occurs via the host endogenous pathway[1].

Animal Model: C57BL/6J, Apoe−/− (female)[1]
Dosage: 1.3% (gm/gm, dietary supplementation)
Administration: dietary supplementation; from weaning until 19 weeks of age
Result: Increased total aortic root plaque area by 50% compared to chow-fed controls; Eliminated plaque area increase when gut microbes were suppressed by antibiotics.
Animal Model: C57BL/6J, Apoe−/− (female)[1]
Dosage: 1.3% (gm/gm, dietary supplementation)
Administration: dietary supplementation; from weaning until 10 weeks of age; gastric gavage (d9-γBB or d3-carnitine challenge)
Result: Markedly increased production of d9-TMA and d9-TMAO from d9-γBB challenge compared to chow-fed controls; Modestly increased d3-TMA and d3-γBB production from d3-carnitine challenge; Showed no enhanced d3-TMAO production from d3-carnitine challenge.
Animal Model: Swiss Webster (female, germ-free)[1]
Dosage: Not specified
Administration: gastric gavage
Result: Produced no detectable d9-TMA or d9-TMAO from d9-γBB challenge; Produced d9-carnitine from d9-γBB challenge; Acquired capacity to produce d9-TMA and d9-TMAO from d9-γBB challenge after conventionalization.

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.
