3-Mercaptopicolinic Acid, Hydrochloride Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

3-Mercaptopicolinic acid is an inhibitor of gluconeogenesis. In perfused rat livers, gluconeogenesis was inhibited when lactate, pyruvate, or alanine served as substrate, but not with fructose, suggesting phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase as the site of inhibition.

Chemical Properties

Light Yellow Solid

Uses

A potent inhibitor of gluconeogenesis.

storage

Store at -20°C
