Application

TTNPB has been used for transcriptional assays in 293T cells4. It has also been used as a RAR-agonist in cultured human cord blood CD34+CD38-lin- cells5.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Selective and highly potent retinoic acid analog with affinity for retinoic acid receptors (RAR) α, β, and γ, which are nuclear transcription factors. Produces ligand-activated transcription of genes that possess retinoic acid responsive elements.

Features and Benefits

This compound is featured on the Nuclear Receptors (Non-Steroids) page of the Handbook of Receptor Classification and Signal Transduction. To browse other handbook pages, click here.

Preparation Note

TTNPB dissolves in CHCL3/MeOH (1/1) at 9.80 - 10.20 mg/ml to yield a clear, colorless to light yellow solution. It is also soluble at 10 mM in ethanol and at 25 mM in DMSO.

Retinoic Acid and Gene Expression

All-trans retinoic acid (RA, ATRA) is a pleiotropic activation factor that regulates genes associated with normal vertebrate cellular processes such as cell differentiation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and embryonic development.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
