Specifications & Purity	Moligand™, ≥96%(HPLC)
Biochemical and Physiological Mechanisms	Mevastatin (Compactin) inhibits HMGCR (HMG-CoA reductase) (Ki for acid form is 1 nM) which in turn inhibits isoprenoid biosynthesis and therefore blocks protein isoprenylation and reduces plasma cholesterol levels in humans. Mevastatin induces apoptosis,
Storage Temp	Store at 2-8°C
Shipped In	Wet ice
Grade	Moligand™
Action Type	INHIBITOR
Mechanism of action	Inhibitor of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase
Note	Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour. Need more advice on solubility, usage and handling? Please visit our frequently asked questions (FAQ) page for more details.
