  • More than 920 labs worldwide have purchased FK-506 from LC Labs (either directly from us or from our many distributors, many of whom resell under their own labels).
  • Ascomycin level is less than 0.9%.
  • FK-506 is a potent immunosuppressant and in vitro T cell proliferation blocker. It has been shown to disrupt calcineurin (also known as CaN or phosphatase 2B)-mediated signal transduction in T lymphocytes. The compound interacts with its FK506-binding protein-12 (FKBP12). The resulting complex, in turn, interferes with calcineurin substrate interaction. Dumont, F.J. "FK506, an immunosuppressant targeting calcineurin function." Curr. Med. Chem. 7: 731-748 (2000).
  • FK-506 inhibits FKBP activity resulting in an increase in the release of sarcoplasmic reticulum-derived calcium. FK-506 also appears to inhibit Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange. Unlike rapamycin, which also binds to FK506-binding protein-12, FKBP12 with or without bound FK506 has no effect on rat brain PKC activity in vitro. McCall, E., et al. "Effects of FK-506 on contraction and Ca2+ transients in rat cardiac myocytes." Circ. Res. 79: 1110-1121 (1996). Rokaw, M.D., et al. "Rapamycin inhibits protein kinase C activity and stimulates Na+ transport in A6 cells." J. Biol. Chem. 271: 32468-32473 (1996).
