N-Ethylmaleimide is a protein thiol modifier which inhibits apoptotic DNA fragmentation. It is a sulfhydryl reagent and finds application in experimental biochemical studies as well as in enzymology. It is involved in the modification of cysteine residues in proteins and peptides. It acts as a Michael acceptor and reacts with nucelophiles like thiols. It is employed in the inhibition of Mg2+ dependent internucleosomal DNA fragmentation. | [Uses]
Reagent for the covalent modification of cysteine residues in proteins.
NEM gives a clear solution in ethanol at 50 mg/ml. NEM dissolves in water (>50 mg in 4 ml); however, aqueous solutions are unstable. The rate of hydrolysis is pseudo-first order and significantly dependent on pH. | [Definition]
ChEBI: N-ethylmaleimide is a member of the class of maleimides that is the N-ethyl derivative of maleimide. It has a role as an EC 2.1.1.122 [(S)-tetrahydroprotoberberine N-methyltransferase] inhibitor, an EC 2.7.1.1 (hexokinase) inhibitor, an EC 1.3.1.8 [acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (NADP(+))] inhibitor and an anticoronaviral agent. It is functionally related to a maleimide. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Augments currents from native M-channels in sympathetic neurons and acts as an opener for KCNQ2, KCNQ4 and KCNQ5 channels. |
