Description

α-Isopropylmalate (α-IPM) is the leucine biosynthetic precursor in Yeast[1].

In Vitro

α-Isopropylmalate (500 μM) increases LEU3 protein (Leu3p)-dependent transcription[1].
α-Isopropylmalate (10 mM, 48 h) increases reporter gene expression in preadipocytes (30A5)[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.
