1-Deoxymannojirimycin (hydrochloride)

Catalog Number:

1-DMJ and Tunicamycin were compared for the ability to prevent N-glycosylation in mammalian cells. Both worked at 25 nM; however, only 1-DMJ was non-toxic.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cell proliferation and flow cytometry

Starting Material

Human breast cancer cells

Protocol Overview

Product was first tested and shown to be non-toxic up to 20 µM. Then it was used at 25 nM to prevent protein N-glycsoylation as measured by flow cytometry.

Tips

Far superior to tunicamycin

Results Summary

Results demonstrated that 1-DMJ was non-toxic in human cells up to 20 µM. High concentrations were not tested. It was then an efficient glycosylation inhibitor at 25 nM.

Summary

The Good

Non-toxic and effective at low concentrations

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

Works far better than tunicamycin to prevent N-glycosylation
