Application
Lactacystin has been used:as a proteasome inhibitor to inhibit protein degradationto inhibit proteasomal activity of cells for live cell imagingto block proteasomal proteolysis in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) for 24 hto provide unilateral injection to animals to induce nigrostriatal lesions
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lactacystin can block the development of cell cycle and stimulate differentiation in a murine neuroblastoma cell line. It can serve as a precursor forclasto-lactacystin β-lactone. Cell-permeable and irreversible proteasome inhibitor (Ki = 4nM). Inhibits NF-kB activation (IC50 = 10mM). Induces neurite outgrowth in neuro2A mouse neuroblastoma cells.
