SCR7 is a specific inhibitor of nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ), blocks Ligase IV-mediated joining by interfering with its DNA binding but not that of T4 DNA Ligase or Ligase I; inhibits NHEJ in a Ligase IV-dependent manner within cells, causes accumulation of double-strand breaks (DSBs), and activates the intrinsic apoptotic pathway; decreases cell proliferation of MCF7, A549, and HeLa with IC50 of 40, 34, and 44 uM, respectively; increases the efficacy of DSB-inducing therapeutic modalities in mouse xenografts; increases the efficiency of precise genome editing with CRISPR-Cas9 in mammalian cell lines and in mice.

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.
