UT-59 is a specific inhibitor that targets the cholesterol-sensing membrane protein Scap (SREBP cleavage-activating protein). It functions by binding to Scap's cholesterol-binding site, which prevents Scap from interacting with SREBPs (sterol regulatory element-binding proteins). This inhibition blocks the activation of SREBPs, which are key transcription factors involved in lipid and cholesterol biosynthesis. As a result, UT-59 effectively suppresses lipid synthesis, making it a potential therapeutic candidate for conditions associated with dysregulated lipid metabolism, such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, or metabolic disorders.

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.
