Description

L-Methionine is an L-isomer of orally active Methionine, an essential amino acid. Methionine is a strong liver antidote that acts as a liver protector. L-Methionine can inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis. L-Methionine has antitumor and antioxidant activity[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

Microbial Metabolite

 

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

L-Methionine (5 mg/mL, 7 or 3 days) can inhibit the proliferation of BXPC-3 (mutant p53) and HPAC (wild-type p53) pancreatic cancer cells, interfere with cell cycle, and induce apoptosis of BXPC-3 cells[1].
L-Methionine (0.3-10 mM, 24 h) reduces the formation of free radicals in endothelial cells by inducing heme oxidase-1 and ferritin[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
