(-)-BLEBBISTATIN (C005B-082798)
(−)-Blebbistatin, a myosin II ATPase inhibitor, does not affect other members of myosin superfamily like I, V and X. Blebbistatin is highly light sensitive, and photobleaching can reverse its effect completely.
Description
General description
(−)-Blebbistatin, a myosin II ATPase inhibitor, does not affect other members of myosin superfamily like I, V and X. Blebbistatin is highly light sensitive, and photobleaching can reverse its effect completely. Blebbistatin is a commonly used as excitation-contraction uncoupling agent in cardiovascular physiology. Blebbistatin controls the inhibitory effect of thrombin on intercellular Ca2+ wave propagation. Blebbistatin reduces cardiac contractility by stabilizing the OFF state of the thick filament.
Application
(ˆ’)-Blebbistatin has been used to investigate the effect on cardiac contractility and effect of thrombin on actomyosin contractility
Biochem/physiol Actions
(-)-Blebbistatin is a cell cycle inhibitor; selective inhibitor of non-muscle myosin II.
