NRT-870-59 is a potent, reversible PTP4A3 inhibitor (IC50=86 nM) with inhibitory specificity for PTP4A3 versus both PTP4A3 A111S mutant and CDC25B.NRT-870-59 does not inhibit CDC25B and PTP4A3 A111S mutant at 1 uM, and 5- to 6-fold less potent aginst DUSP3.NRT-870-59 inhibits PTP4A1, PTP4A2, PTP4A3 mutants C49S, K144I and A106V with IC50 of 133.2, 264.4, 86.0, 332.2, 180.2 and 57.7 nM, respectively.NRT-870-59 inhibits cancer cell colony formation, which is required PTP4A3 expression.The PTP4A (phosphatase of regenerating liver/PRL) phosphatases are a unique subfamily of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) comprising three highly homologous members (PTP4A1, PTP4A2, and PTP4A3) with 80% amino acid sequence identity.PTP4A3, and to a lesser extent PTP4A1 and PTP4A2, are overexpressed in many types of cancer, promote tumor invasion and dissemination, and contribute to poor patient prognosis.

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.
