Aurintricarboxylic acid is employed as a powerful inhibitor of cellular processes, including apoptosis, that are dependent on the formation of protein-nucleic acid complexes. It binds to a FGF and reduces its angiogenic activity. Aurintricarboxylic Acid has been shown to inhibit apoptotic cell death in various cell types induced by a variety of factors. It Inhibits protein-nucleic acid interactions. It stimulates the tyrosine phosphorylation of MAP kinases.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
