| FK-506 is a potent immunosuppressant and in vitro T cell proliferation blocker. It has been shown to disrupt calcineurin (also known as CaN or phosphatase 2B)-mediated signal transduction in T lymphocytes. The compound interacts with its FK506-binding protein-12 (FKBP12). The resulting complex, in turn, interferes with calcineurin substrate interaction. | | | Catalog # | F4522-01 | | Solubility | Soluble in DMSO at 100mg/ml; soluble in ethanol at 100mg/ml; very poorly soluble in water; maximum solubility in plain water is estimated to be about 10uM; buffers, serum, or other additives may increase or decrease the aqueous solubility. | | Storage and Stability | May be stored at RT for short-term only.
