CUR5g is a potent autophagy inhibitor. CUR5g selectively inhibits autophagosome degradation in cancer cells by blocking autophagosome-lysosome fusion. CUR5g blocks the recruitment of STX17 to autophagosomes via a UVRAG-dependent mechanism, resulting in the inability of autophagosomes to fuse with lysosomes. CUR5g improves the anticancer effect of Cisplatin against A549 cells both in vitro and in vivo.

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.
