proTAME Usage And Synthesis

Description

ProTAME is an inhibitor of both APC/CFzr and APC/CCdc20. Combinations of proTAME with topoisomerase inhibitors, etoposide and doxorubicin, significantly increase cell death in Multiple Myeloma (MM) cell lines and primary cells, particularly if TOPIIα levels are first increased through pre-treatment with ProTAME.

Uses

proTAME, a cell-permeable proagent form of TAME, is an anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) inhibitor. proTAME causes cell cycle arrest in metaphase[1][2].
