Description:
PMX53 (Ac-Phe-cyclo(Orn-Pro-D-Cha-Trp-Arg)) is a potent C5a receptor (CD88) antagonist with IC50 of 20 nM, also is an agonist for Mas-related gene 2 (MrgX2) in human mast cells; PMX-53 (10 nM) inhibited C5a-induced Ca(2+) mobilization in HMC-1 cells, but at higher concentrations (>30 nM) it caused degranulation in LAD2 mast cells, CD34(+) cell-derived mast cells, and RBL-2H3 cells stably expressing MrgX2; inhibits zymosan-, carrageenan-, LPS- and antigen-induced hypernociception in rats.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,

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.
