Product Description

Abscisic Acid (also known as ABA, and Abscisin II) is a plant hormone and growth inhibitor, which is involved in many plant developmental processes, modulates ion homeostasis and metabolism, and inhibits germination and seedling growth. ABA is a plant hormone and plays an important role in abiotic stress tolerance. Histone H2B monoubiquitination regulated ABA levels in developing seeds. H2B ubiquitination and ABA dependent chromatin remodeling regulated seed dormancy. Abiotic stress-induced ABA regulated stressresponsive gene expression and stomatal response.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Abscisic acid ((S)-(+)-Abscisic acid; 10 μM) rapidly depolarizes the plasma membrane and alkalinizes the media in Arabidopsis cell cultures [1]. In suspensions of Arabidopsis cells, cytoplasmic Ca2+ is elevated by 10 μM abscisic acid. Abscisic acid increases cytosolic Ca2+ levels, which reduces proton pumping indirectly rather than directly [1]. Abscisic acid's natural receptor is called lanthionine synthase C-like 2 (LANCL2). Abscisic acid stimulates the metabolism of glucose and fatty acids in mitochondria, boosts the production of glycogen, activates PI3K independently of insulin, and facilitates the translocation of GLUT4 to the cell membrane at the biological level and in particular muscle cells ex vivo [2].
ln Vivo
Glycemic control is improved by oral abscisic acid (0.125 μg/kg/day) over a duration of 12 weeks [2]. In the DIO model, abscisic acid (oral; 0.125 μg/kg/day; for 12 weeks) significantly decreased the levels of TNF, MCP-1, and IL-6. Skeletal muscle can have its metabolic activity increased by abscisic acid [2].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice at 4 weeks of age[2]
Doses: 0.125 µg/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage) daily; for 12 weeks
Experimental Results: Improved glycemic control in a diet-induced model of obesity

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 6.25 mg/mL (23.65 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 62.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 62.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
