    Product Description

    QX-77 is an activator of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA).1 It decreases mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) and Neuro2a cell death induced by paraquat or oleic acid (Item Nos. 90260 | 24659). QX-77 (20 µM) rescues defective trafficking and lysosomal localization of the CMA receptor LAMP2A in Ctns-/- MEFs and CTNS knockout human proximal tubule cells, models of the lysosomal storage disorder cystinosis.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
