PDI inhibitor 16F16 is a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) inhibitor, first identified in a screen for compounds that prevent apoptosis induced by mutant huntingtin protein. 16F16 not only suppressed apoptosis induced by the misfolded protein mutant hungtingtin, it also protected rat neurons from cell death triggered by Aβ peptide. The actions of this inhibitor helped to identify a new mechanism in which a cell death pathway is regulated by protein misfolding via PDI upregulation.

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, 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.
