Product Data Sheet
2-Thiouracil
Catalog No. A16736
2-Thiouracil is a selective inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), exhibiting a Ki value of 20 μM. It effectively antagonizes BH4-induced nNOS dimerization, thereby modulating nitric oxide synthesis in neuronal tissues. In addition to its role as an nNOS inhibitor, 2-Thiouracil also has antithyroid properties and serves as a specific marker for melanoma detection. Furthermore, it promotes root growth in pea and corn, making it a valuable tool for various agricultural and biochemical research applications.
