Genistein, 250 mg

Genistein is a soy-derived isoflavone and broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase inhibitor widely used in biomedical research. Supplied by STEMCELL Technologies as 250 mg of powdered compound in a single-use vial, it is commonly applied to in vitro cell culture studies investigating osteogenic differentiation, adipogenesis inhibition, and signaling pathway modulation via tyrosine phosphorylation. Researchers also employ genistein in cancer research models, where its phytoestrogen activity is used to probe estrogen receptor interactions in breast cancer cell lines, and as a topoisomerase II inhibitor at micromolar concentrations. Store the dry powder at room temperature, protected from light and moisture, and prepare fresh working solutions in DMSO for cell-based assays. The compound supports research use only applications and is handled as a small-molecule reagent rather than a kit, giving laboratories flexibility in experimental design across molecular biology and stem cell workflows.
