Rapamycin

Selectively inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and blocks the subsequent activation of p70 S6 kinase (IC50=50pM). Specifically inhibits mTORC1, but mTORC2 that phosphorylates Akt at Ser473 appears to be insensitive to rapamycin. Prevents the translational activation of IGF-II. Also prevents resting T-cells from entering the cell cycle, but does not directly arrest cell cycle progression. Shown to inhibit later signaling events, such as p110Rb phosphorylation, p34cdc2 kinase activation, and cyclin A synthesis. Exhibits strong binding to FK-506 binding proteins. Also reported to induce apoptosis in a murine B-cell line, to inhibit lymphokine-induced cell proliferation at the G1 phase, and to irreversibly arrest Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells in the G1 phase.\n\nSolubility:\nDMSO (25mg/ml) Ethanol (9mg/ml) or Methanol (1mg/ml)\n\nStorage and Stability:\nLyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C. Stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
