Product Description: Cystamine-d8 (dihydrochloride) is the deuterium labeled Cystamine (dihydrochloride)[1]. Cystamine (dihydrochloride) is the disulfide form of the free thiol, cysteamine. Cystamine is an orally active transglutaminase (Tgase) inhibitor. Cystamine also has inhibition activity for caspase-3 with an IC50 value of 23.6 μM. Cystamine can be used for the research of severals diseases including Huntington's disease (HD)[2][3][4].
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
Formula: C4H5D8ClN2S2
