A Potent Modulator of Ca2+ ATPase Pump

Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10, 000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity.

Methanol. Centrifuge all product preparations before use (10000 x g 5 min).

Ochratoxin A is a natural metabolic alkaloid produce by Aspergillus ochraceus1. Ochratoxin A is a potent a toxin which causes nephrosis in mammals. In the circulation, Ochratoxin A has a very long half-life in all species examined2. Although the kidney is the primary target organ for Ochratoxin A activity, studies indicate that Ochratoxin A is also a liver toxin, immunosuppressant, potent teratogen, and carcinogen3. Ochratoxin A increases activity of the endoplasmic reticulum ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump4.
