rPMT Liquid. In 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10% glycerol, pH 7.5. AVOID FREEZE/THAW CYCLES. Recombinant Pasteurella multocida toxin expressed in E. coli. A bacterial protein toxin that binds to and enters eukaryotic cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Acts intracellularly to initiate the inositol trisphosphate signaling pathway, Ca2+ mobilization, and DNA synthesis. Stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple substrates including focal adhesion kinase. Exerts its action on the a-subunit of the Gq family of G-proteins. Has been used for the activation of Gq-protein-coupled phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) in intact cells, making PMT useful as a tool for studying Gq-linked signal transduction.
