Gene Information

Application

ML-9 has been used in the inhibition of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and non-muscle myosin IIA (NMIIA) in human corneal epithelial cells and HeLa cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ML-9 is myosin light chain kinase inhibitor. It inhibits insulin-induced translocation of glucose transporters GLUT4 and GLUT1 in a dose-dependent manner. ML-9 also inhibits agonist-induced Ca2+ entry into endothelial cells and catecholamine secretion in intact and permeabilized chromaffin cells. ML-9 promotes cell death in cancer cells by triggering accumulation of autophagic vacuoles. ML-9 impacts phosphorylation of myosin light chain kinase and alters trabecular meshwork shape and decreases intraocular pressure in rabbit eyes.

Articles

Glucose metabolism is regulated by the opposing actions of insulin and glucagon. Insulin is released from pancreatic ß cells in response to high blood glucose levels and regulates glucose metabolism through its actions on muscle, liver, and adipose tissue.

We presents an article about the Warburg effect, and how it is the enhanced conversion of glucose to lactate observed in tumor cells, even in the presence of normal levels of oxygen. Otto Heinrich Warburg demonstrated in 1924 that cancer cells show an increased dependence on glycolysis to meet their energy needs, regardless of whether they were well-oxygenated or not.
