Sodium 4-Phenylbutyrate

Key Product Details

Product Description

Sodium 4-Phenylbutyrate is a histone deacetylase inhibitor that displays anticancer activity. Inhibits cell proliferation, invasion and migration and induces apoptosis in glioma cells. Sodium 4-Phenylbutyrate also inhibits protein isoprenylation, depletes plasma glutamine, increases production of fetal hemoglobin through transcriptional activation of the γ-globin gene and affects hPPARγ activation.
