    ERα ligands regulate the expression of CLOCK at the transcription level.

    Analysis of CLOCK mRNA levels in MCF-7 cells by real-time PCR. MCF-7 cells were cultured in phenol red free medium and charcoal striped FCS medium for 2 days before being treated with E2 and the expression of CLOCK was then analyzed by real-time PCR.

    E2 = 17beta-Estradiol.

Question



Also, has it been tested in mice? Finally, is it water soluble? We plan for 3, 0.5mg subcutaneous injections in rodents every other day. Sigma-Aldrich used to provide a safe, water soluble version of this product, but has since migrated to an in-house production that now kills mice. I am hoping your product doesn't do that. Thank you.

Answer

Thank you for contacting us.
We have tested the solubility of this product in our lab and found that it is soluble in DMSO and in ethanol to the limits stated on the datasheet; this product is not soluble in water. Unfortunately, we do not offer a water soluble version of this product, however do offer the synthetic ester and prodrug 17b-estradiol valerate (ab143321).
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
