Product Overview
Description:
S-Farnesyl thioacetic acid is a structurally modified lipid congener modeled after S-farnesyl cysteine, engineered to function as a high-efficiency competitive inhibitor targeting isoprenylated protein methyltransferase systems. By interrupting S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase signaling, this synthetic fatty acyl derivative blocks the critical post-translational carboxyl methylation of both farnesylated and geranylgeranylated substrate proteins.
Synonyms:
(3,7,11-trimethyl-2E,6E,10-dodecatrienyl)thioacetic acid; FTA; Farnesylthioacetic acid; S-farnesyl-thioacetic acid; Farnesyl-S-thioacetic acid; 135784-48-4
CAS No.:
135784-48-4

Specification
Storage:
Storage at -20°C.
Applications:
S-Farnesyl thioacetic acid serves as a farnesyl analog for biochemical studies involving isoprenoid-related molecular research. It supports investigation of lipid-like modifications, analytical characterization, and studies involving farnesyl-derived chemical biology tools.
