Description

Application

3-Aminopropionitrile fumarate salt has been used as a lysyl oxidase (LOX) inhibitor:

• to inhibit collagen cross-linking during microtissue formation and culture
• in LIM domain only 1 (LMO1)- or vector-expressing BE2C neuroblastoma cell line in transwell migration and invasion assay
• in lysyl oxidase (LOX) activity assay
• to study requirement of LOX activity for inducing hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)2A-dependent stiffness in mouse organoids

Biochem/physiol Actions

3-Aminopropionitrile (β-Aminopropionitrile (BAPN)) functions as an irreversible inhibitor of lysyl oxidase (LOX), an enzyme involved in collagen cross-linking.

In mammals, metabolism of 3-aminopropionitrile leads to release of cyanide ions. Metabolic activity is localized in the microsomal fraction of the liver, and is believed to proceed through a free-radical pathway.
