Discontinued Product
Ginkgolic Acid (Cat. No. 6326) has been withdrawn from sale for commercial reasons.
Description: Inhibits SUMOylation by binding E1
Chemical Name: 2-Hydroxy-6-(8Z)-8-pentadecenylbenzoic acid
Purity: ≥97% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Ginkgolic Acid
Ginkgolic Acid is an inhibitor of SUMOylation (IC50 = 3 μM). Directly binds E1 and inhibits formation of E1-SUMO intermediate. Protects against amyloid β-induced impairment of neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. Also suppresses CD44 and MMP14 expression in breast cancer cells, eliminating cancer stem cells and inhibiting tumorigenesis.
