    Product Description

    Phloretin is a natural phenol which inhibits a variety of transporters. It inhibits the monocarboxylate transporters MCT1 and MCT2 (IC50 = 28 and 14 µM, respectively), restricting the rapid transport of monocarboxylates like lactate and pyruvate across the plasma membrane.1 Phloretin also blocks the sodium/D-glucose cotransporter (Ki = 86 µM) and the human concentrative nucleoside transporter 3 (Ki = 32 µM).2,3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
