    Product Description

    Z-Leu-Leu-Leu-B(OH)2 is a proteasome inhibitor with diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It inhibits LPS-induced expression of FMS-related tyrosine kinase 1 (FLT1) in isolated human microvascular endothelial cells and macrophages.1 Z-Leu-Leu-Leu-B(OH)2 (1 µM) reduces heat shock-induced increases in heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) levels in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.2 In vivo, Z-Leu-Leu-Leu-B(OH)2 (1 µmol/kg) induces accumulation of the UbG76V-GFP reporter, which is constitutively targeted for ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation, in and apoptosis of growth plate chondrocytes, as well as growth retardation in mice.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
