    C3H10T1/2 preadipocytes were treated with differentiation medium supplemented with 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 1 μM Dexamethasone, 850 nM Insulin, 1 nM Triiodothyronine, 125 nm Indomethacin and 1 μM Rosiglitazone for 2 days and subsequently cultured in maintaining medium supplemented with 1 nM Triiodothyronine, 850 nM Insulin, and 1 μM Rosiglitazone for another 2 days. Differentiated adipocytes at day 4 were cultured in complete medium until used for experiments. Representative immunoblots of PGC-1α and UCP1 in beige adipocytes treated as indicated.

    C3H10T1/2 preadipocytes were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% P/S. For adipogenic differentiation, confluent C3H10T1/2 preadipocytes were incubated with complete medium supplemented with 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 1 μM Dexamethasone, 850 nM Insulin, 1 nm Triiodothyronine, 125 nm Indomethacin and 1 μM Rosiglitazone for 2 days. Then, cells were changed to the complete medium supplemented with 1 nM T3, 850 nM Insulin, and 1 μM Rosiglitazone for another 2 days. Differentiated adipocytes at day 4 were maintained in complete medium until used for experiments. Representative immunoblots of NRP1 and EPHA7 in differentiated brown adipocytes transfected with si-Rbm3 or si-NC.

    Description

    Liothyronine hydrochloride is an active form of thyroid hormone. Liothyronine hydrochloride is a potent thyroid hormone receptors TRα and TRβ agonist with Kis of 2.33 nM for hTRα and hTRβ, respectively[1][2][3].

    IC50 & Target

    TRβ1[1][2]

    In Vitro

    Liothyronine (T3, 100 nM) hydrochloride stimulates the proliferation of hepatocarcinema cells in which TRβ1 is overexpressed[1]. Liothyronine hydrochloride binds to human β1 thyroid hormone receptor (hTRβ1), and changes its conformation. Liothyronine hydrochloride promotes growth, induces differentiation and regualtes metabolic effects[2].

    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.
