AC 253
Discontinued Product
Biological Activity
AC 253 is an amylin (AMY3) receptor antagonist. Inhibits andrenomedulin-stimulated cAMP production in vitro. Protects against oligomeric Aβ-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+, activation of PKA, MAPK, Akt and cFOS and cell death in neuronal cell culture. Blocks electrophysiological effects of Aβ in vitro. Cyclic AC 253 (Cat.No. 6550) also available.Technical Data
