Ordering Information

Biological Activity

MG132 is a potent, cell-permeable peptide aldehyde inhibitor of the proteasome and calpain. It blocks the 26S proteasome complex to prevent the degradation of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins. By inhibiting proteasomal degradation, MG132 blocks TNF-alpha-induced NF-kB activation and IkB-alpha degradation. Additionally, MG132 activates c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK1) signaling to trigger apoptosis and induces neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, demonstrating robust anticancer activity in vitro. [1][2]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
