Background:

LRE1 is a specific and allosteric inhibitor of soluble adenylyl cyclase.

LRE1 binds to the bicarbonate activator binding site and inhibits soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) via a unique allosteric mechanism[1]. LRE1 prevents sAC-dependent processes in cellular and physiological systems and facilitates exploration of the therapeutic potential of sAC inhibition[1].LRE1 (0.5-100 μM, 60 minutes ) inhibits sperm and mitochondrial functions of sAC[1].|| Western Blot Analysis[1]||Cell Line:|Mouse cauda sperm|Concentration:|0.5-100 µM|Incubation Time:|60 minutes |Result:|LRE1 inhibits sAC dependent sperm capacitation[1].
