Bioactivity | Gadolinium chloride is a specific calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) agonist. Gadolinium chloride can be used for the research of cardiovascular disease[1]. | ||||||||||||
Target | CaSR | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Gadolinium chloride (30 μM; 15 minutes; H9c2 cells) results in increased Bax expression and caspase-3 activation, and decreased Bcl-2 expression in CsA-induced cells[1].In vitro, GdCl3, a CaSR agonist, has been shown to promote the apoptosis of myocardial cells, which increases ERK1/2 phosphorylation and activates caspase-3[1].
