α-Casein (90-95) TFA
Based on 1 Customer Validation
α-Casein (90-95) TFA is a partial agonist of opioid receptors and a copper ion ligand, with opioid activity. α-Casein (90-95) TFA inhibits the secretion of β-hexosaminidase by rat peritoneal mast cells (PMC) with IC50= 0.1 μM. α-Casein (90-95) TFA inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer cells LNCaP, DU145, and PC3 with IC50 of 0.94 nM, 137 nM, and 6.92 nM, respectively. α-Casein (90-95) TFA activates Gi-like proteins through a membrane-assisted, receptor-independent pathway, or reversibly binds to opioid receptors, inducing intracellular calcium release and conformational changes, and exerts the activity of promoting mast cell secretion and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. α-Casein (90-95) TFA can be used in the study of the mechanisms of allergic diseases and prostate cancer.

Biological Activity
α-Casein (90-95) TFA (0.1 μM; 10 min) can significantly induce the secretion of β-hexosaminidase from rat peritoneal mast cells (PMC)[2].
α-Casein (90-95) TFA (0.94 nM-137 nM; 4-6 days) inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer cells (LNCaP, DU145, PC3) in a dose-dependent manner, with an inhibition rate of 30%-59%[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Line:Rat peritoneal mast cells (PMC)
-
Concentration:0.1 mM (secretagogue assay), 0.5 mM (BAC inhibition assay)
-
Incubation Time:10 min (secretion), 5 min (BAC preincubation)
-
Result:Induced 15.2% β-hexosaminidase release (vs. 5.5% spontaneous release) at 0.1 mM, with maximal secretion within 1 min.
Preincubation with 3.0 μg/mL Benzalkonium chloride (HY-B2232) abolished secretion (inhibition 50.1%), indicating membrane-mediated Gi-protein activation.
