Biological Activity

Description Chlorocresol(4-Chloro-3-methylphenol,PCMC) is an activator of ryanodine receptor.This product is a hazardous chemical (acute toxicity/flammable/skin corrosive). Please use it while wearing a protective face mask, gloves, and clothing.
Targets
ryanodine receptor [1]
In vitro

Chlorocresol (1 mM) is capable of releasing Ca2+ from a ruthenium red/caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ release channel selectively localized in terminal cistemae (TC), whereas Chlorocresol has no effect on longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum (LSR), indicating that Chlorocresol is not acting by inhibiting the Ca2+-ATPase or damaging the vesicles. Chlorocresol is capable of releasing Ca2+ from heparmn-treated cerebellar microsomes. In PC12 cells, Chlorocresol releases Ca2+ from a caffeine/thapsigargin- sensitive intracellular store. The chloro and methyl groups in Chlorocresols are important for the activation of the ryanodine receptor Ca2+ release channel. [1] Chlorocresol causes muscle contracture in malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) muscles at a concentration of 25–50 mM and potentiates the caffeine contracture response in human MHS muscles. Sub-threshold (20 mM) concentrations of Chlorocresol increases both the Kd (6.0 vs. 10 mM) and the Vmax (2.2 vs. 1.55 mmol Ca2+/min/mg protein) of caffeine-induced Ca2+ release from isolated rabbit terminal cisternae.
