PMA TPA White solid. PACKAGED UNDER INERT GAS. Most commonly-used phorbol ester. Extremely potent mouse skin tumor promoter. Activates protein kinase C in vivo and in vitro, even at nM concentrations. Promotes the expression of inducible NOS in cultured hepatocytes. Activates Ca2+-ATPase and potentiates forskolin-induced cAMP formation. Inhibits apoptosis induced by the Fas antigen, but induces apoptosis in HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. Its binding is reversible. Purity: ≥99% by HPLC. RTECS QH4377000, CAS 16561-29-8. Ref.: Powell, D.J., et al. 2003. Mol. Cell Biol. 23, 7794. Tepper, C.G., et al. 1995. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
