Tolbutamide, have been used in a cDNA microarray assay to probe changes in gene expression in HepG2 cells upon their administration. It has been utilized to counteract insulin activity in a patch-clamp investigation of ATP sensitive K+ channels in mouse pancreatic β-cells. The activity of various biotransformation enzymes in cultured primary rat proximal tubular cells in the presence of tolbutamide and other compounds has been studied.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
