Rapamycin rapa

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States

Rapamycin (RAPA) is a laboratory reagent used in cell biology research. It is a macrocyclic lactone compound that functions as an inhibitor of the mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) signaling pathway. Rapamycin binds to the FKBP12 protein, forming a complex that inhibits the activity of the mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), a key regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and metabolism.

A recombinant plasmid pMD18-T-NS5B was our laboratory stock. Thapsigargin (TG, Abcam, ab120286) and Rapamycin (RAPA, Cell Signaling, 9904), Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA, Millipore, 580549), 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA, Sigma, P21005), and 3-methyladenine (3-MA, Sigma, M9281) were respectively dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and sterile ultrapure water as stock solutions and further diluted with culture medium to the desired concentrations. The primary antibodies used in the study were specific for GRP78 (Santa Cruz, sc-13968), phosphor-IRE1 (S724) (Abcam, ab48187), ATF-6 (ABclonal, A0202), phospho-PERK (Thr980) (Cell Signaling, 3179), phospho-eIF2α (S51) (Bioworld, BS4787), eIF2α (Bioworld, BS3651), ATF-4 (ImmunoWay, YT1102), CHOP (Santa Cruz, sc-166682), LC3B (Cell Signaling, 2775), ATG5 (Novus Biologicals, NB110-53818), Beclin1 (Cell Signaling, 3495), SQSTM1/p62 (Cell Signaling, 39749), CSFV-E2 (MEDIAN/JBT, 9011), CSFV-Npro (kindly gift from Professor Xinglong Yu, Hunan Agricultural University, China), and Tubulin (Beyotime, AT819). Alexa Fluor 488-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG(H + L) (A0428), horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG(H + L) (A0208), and goat anti-mouse IgG(H + L) (A0216) were purchased from Beyotime Biotechnology.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
