Application

Reagent for the covalent modification of cysteine residues in proteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Augments currents from native M-channels in sympathetic neurons and acts as an opener for KCNQ2, KCNQ4 and KCNQ5 channels.
Sulfhydryl alkylating agent that inactivates NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase and many endonucleases.

Preparation Note

NEM gives a clear solution in ethanol at 50 mg/ml. NEM dissolves in water (>50 mg in 4 ml); however, aqueous solutions are unstable. The rate of hydrolysis is pseudo-first order and significantly dependent on pH.

Muscarinic and other G protein-coupled receptors exhibit an agonist-specific heterogeneity that tracks efficacy and commonly is attributed to an effect of the G protein on an otherwise homogeneous population of sites. To examine this notion, M2 muscarinic receptors were purified

The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) plays a major role in many physiological processes, and its action is quickly terminated via enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by monoglyceride lipase (MGL). Regulating its endogenous level could offer therapeutic opportunities; however, few selective MGL inhibitors have
