General description

The active enantiomer of (±)-Blebbistatin (Cat. No. 203390) that accounts for the inhibitory activity towards ATPase (IC50 = ~2 µM) and myosin II-dependent cellular processes. Also reported to potently inhibit the actomyosin ATPase activities of expressed smooth muscle myosin IIA (SMA) and smooth muscle myosin IIB (SMB) smooth muscle myosin II heavy-chain isoforms (IC50 ~3 µM).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Product does not compete with ATP.
Reversible: yes

Packaging

Packaged under inert gas

Preparation Note

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 month in 90% DMSO or methanol (-20°C). Stock solutions in 100% DMSO are unstable; reconstitute just prior to use.

We describe a cellular contractile mechanism employed by fibroblasts and mesenchymal cancer cells to migrate in 3D collagen gels. During 3D spreading, fibroblasts strongly deform the matrix. They protrude, polarize, and initiate migration in the direction of highest extracellular matrix

T cell activation is sensitive to the mechanical properties of an activating substrate. However, there are also contrasting results on how substrate stiffness affects T cell activation, including differences between T cells of mouse and human origin. Towards reconciling these

While the immediate and transitory response of breast cancer cells to pathological stiffness in their native microenvironment has been well explored, it remains unclear how stiffness-induced phenotypes are maintained over time after cancer cell dissemination in vivo. Here, we show that
