Cat. No.: HY-113008A Purity: 99.92%
COA Handling Instructions

cis-Urocanic acid is a 5-HT2A receptor agonist. cis-Urocanic acid binds to 5-HT receptor with relatively high affinity (Kd=4.6 nM). cis-Urocanic acid is an immune modulator that induces immunosuppression by binding to the 5-HT2A receptor.

Description

cis-Urocanic acid is a 5-HT2A receptor agonist. cis-Urocanic acid binds to 5-HT receptor with relatively high affinity (Kd=4.6 nM). cis-Urocanic acid is an immune modulator that induces immunosuppression by binding to the 5-HT2A receptor[1].

In Vitro

Treatment with 100 μg/mL cis-Urocanic acid (cis-UCA) completely suppresses IL-6 and IL-8 secretion, decreases caspase-3 activity, and improves cell viability against UV-B irradiation. No significant effects on IL-6 or IL-8 secretion, caspase-3 activity, or viability of the non-irradiated cells are observed with 100 μg/mL cis-Urocanic acid in both cell types. The 5000 μg/mL concentration is toxic[1].

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

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Human corneal epithelial cells (HCE-2) and human conjunctival epithelial cells (HCECs)
Concentration: 10, 100, 1,000, and 5,000 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 24, 48, or 72 hours
Result: Treatment with 100 μg/mL completely suppressed IL-6 and IL-8 secretion, decreased caspase-3 activity, and improved cell viability against UV-B irradiation. No significant effects on IL-6 or IL-8 secretion, caspase-3 activity, or viability of the non-irradiated cells were observed with 100 μg/mL in both cell types.

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.
