Phloretin is an inhibitor of calcium channel protein, MCT1, MCT2, and PKC. It is the major polyphenol that can befound in apples. Phloretin is a dihydrochalcone, a type of phenolic compound. Phloretin influences the permeability of cellular membranes to certain substances, making it useful in the study of transport processes across biological membranes. In the realm of biochemical research, phloretin′s role in inhibiting glucose transporters and other membrane transport proteins offers insights into the mechanisms controlling nutrient uptake and metabolite exchange in cells.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ZhouZhou, et. al. (PubMed ID 23174781) used product sc-3548, Phloretin, a known PKC inhibitor, to distinguish the protein kinases involved in the resistin signaling pathway. The researchers found that it inhibited decreases in mtDNA content caused by resistin alone. -SCBT Publication Review
