| Description | Calpeptin is a potent, cell-permeable calpain inhibitor with ID50 of 52 nM, 34 nM, 138 nM, and 40 nM for Calpain I (porcine erythrocytes), Calpain II (porcine kidney), Papainb, and Calpain I (human platelets), respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| In vitro |
Calpeptin inhibits 20K phosphorylation in a dose-related manner in platelets stimulated by thrombin, ionomycin or collagen. [1] In differentiating PC12 cells, Calpeptin promotes neurite elongation via inhibition of Calpain activity. [2] In rat retinal ganglion cells, Calpeptin attenuates apoptosis, maintains normal whole-cell membrane potential, and thus provides functional neuroprotection. [3] |

| Assay |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In vivo | In a feline right ventricular (RV) PO (RVPO) model, calpeptin (0.6 mg/kg, i.v.) blocks the activation of calpain and caspase-3, cleavage of their substrates, and cardiomyocyte programmed cell death. [4] In a rat focal cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury model, Calpeptin reduces the neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal CA1 sector via inhibition of the expression of Caspase-3. [5] |

1.Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2.Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
Bio Calculators
Molarity Calculator
Calculate the mass, volume or concentration required for a solution. The Selleck molarity calculator is based on the following equation:
Mass (mg) = Concentration (mM) × Volume (mL) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)
*When preparing stock solutions, please always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the via label and MSDS / COA (available on product pages).
Dilution Calculator
Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:
Concentration (start) x Volume (start) = Concentration (final) x Volume (final)
This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )
* When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
