LipidLaunch™ SM-102 LNP (siRNA hINHBE) is a solution containing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) composed of the ionizable cationic amino lipid SM-102 (Item No. 33474), cholesterol (Item No. 9003100), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (DSPC; Item No. 15100), and the lipid excipient DMG-PEG(2000) (Item No. 33945) at a molar ratio of 50:38.5:10:1.5 and encapsulating siRNA targeting human inhibin beta E chain (hINHBE), a hepatokine involved in hepatocyte viability, thermogenesis, and insulin sensitivity.1,2,3 It is intended for use in the knockdown of hINHBE in vitro and can be used in any cells expressing hINHBE.
Suggested in vitro use: Thaw LNPs on ice with occasional gentle swirling (do not vortex). Using a gentle pipetting technique, dilute 1:100-1:500 in complete cell culture media (with serum) and add to subconfluent cells. Knockdown of INHBE may be detected between six and 48 hours after transfection.
