Alomone Labs Okadaic Acid induces apoptosis in Jurkat cells. - Cells were grown to 70% confluency followed by the addition of 1MOkadaic Acid (ammonium salt)(#O-800) (orOkadaic Acid (sodium salt)(#O-900)) or vehicle for 6 h. At the end of the incubation cell proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and probed with anti-Caspase 3 antibody.

Alomone Labs Okadaic Acid inhibits PP2A in 3T3-L1 cells. - Cells were grown to 70% confluence and serum starved for 18 h. Forin vivophosphatase activity the growth medium was replaced with HENK?s and the cells were preincubated in the presence or absence of 100 nMOkadaic Acid (ammonium salt)(#O-800) (orOkadaic Acid (sodium salt)(#O-900)) and 100 nM1-Norokadaone(#N-750) followed by a 20 min incubation with or without 20 M NEM. The cells were then stimulated with 5 ng/ml PDGF for 30 min. At the end of the incubation cell proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and probed with anti-phospho-Akt antibodies.

Product Page - Scientific background :
Okadaic acid is a polyether compound isolated from the black sponge Halichondria okadai. It was previously demonstrated as a non-TPA-type tumor promoter and then as a cell-permeable, potent and specific inhibitor of serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. In higher concentrations Okadaic acid induced apoptosis (IC50 = 0.5 µM).1-4Okadaic acid down-regulates the TNF receptor, induces the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores in ECV304 endothelial cells and inhibits GH4 cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 5 nM).5,6

Synonyms :
Halochondrine A
Source :
Natural
Molecular formula :
C44H71O13N.
Effective Concentration :
1 nM-1 µM.
Activity :
Okadaic Acid is a potent inhibitor of PP1 and PP2A1. At higher concentrations, it also promotes apoptosis2.
Reconstitution and Solubility :
Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10,000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity
Solubility :
DMSO, ethanol, acetone, or methanol. Centrifuge all product preparations before use (10000 x g 5 min).
