Biological Activity

4-Methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid (α-Ketoisocaproic acid) is a metabolite of L-leucine and is involved in energy metabolism. 4-Methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid increases endoplasmic reticulum stress, promotes lipid accumulation in preadipocytes and insulin resistance by impairing mTOR and autophagy signaling pathways. 4-Methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid acts as a nutrient signal and stimulates skeletal muscle protein synthesis.

6α-Hydroxy Paclitaxel

6α-Hydroxy Paclitaxel is a primary metabolite of Paclitaxel. 6α-Hydroxy Paclitaxel (6-Hydroxytaxol) retains a time-dependent effect on organic anion-transporting polypeptides 1B1/SLCO1B1 (OATP1B1) with similar inhibition potency to Paclitaxel, whereas it no longer showed time-dependent inhibition of OATP1B3.

Casein (from bovine milk)

Casein is a phosphorus-containing complex protein with α-casein and β-casein as its main components. Casein is an orally active phosphoprotein that can be separated into various electrophoretic components, such as α2-Casein, κ-Casein, β-casein, and γ-casein. Casein can be used in biochemical research, to formulate biological culture media, and as a thickener, emulsifier and stabiliser.
