Characteristics
- Thapsigargin is a highly potent inhibitor of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCAs), inhibiting Ca2+ pumping to intracellular stores at nanomolar concentrations, with IC50 ranging from 0.2 nM to 50 nM in various mammalian cell types.1 Thapsigargin-induced depletion of Ca2+ stores leads to apoptosis in various cell lines.2-4
