Description

Mimosine, a tyrosine analog , can act as an antioxidant by its potent iron-binding activity[1]. Mimosine is a known chelator of Fe(III)[2]. Mimosine induces apoptosis through metal ion chelation, mitochondrial activation and ROS production in human leukemic cells[3]. Anti-cancer, antiinflammation.

In Vitro

Mimosine, a known chelator of Fe(III), may facilitate Fe(III) uptake in leucaena by serving as a phytosiderophore[2].
Mimosine, a bidentate iron-binding ligand, may also play a role in cellular translocation of iron within leucaena[2].
Mimosine is a toxic nonprotein amino acid that is a major constituent of the tropical legumesLeucaenaandMimosa[4].
Mimosine (400 μM), through iron chelation, reversibly blocks cell cycle progression in MDA-MB-453 human breast cancer cells[4].
Mimosine (400 μM) reduces DNA synthesis by greater than 90% of control within 4 hr of treatment, and suppresses total proline-directed protein kinase activity to less than 10% of control after 16 hr treatment[4].

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.
