Common NameBromobenzene(F04345)
2D Structure
Description

Bromobenzene is used for organic synthesis, especially in the production of the synthetic intermediate phenyl magnesium bromide (a Grignard reagent). Bromobenzene is also used as an additive to motor oils and as a crystallizing solvent. Release of bromobenzene to the environment may occur during its production and the production of phenyl magnesium bromide, as well as in its use as a solvent and as an additive in motor oil (HSDB, 2003). It has been detected at low frequencies and at low concentrations in samples of food, ambient air, and finished water.

General Function:

Specific Function:
Receptor-activated non-selective cation channel involved in detection of pain and possibly also in cold perception and inner ear function (PubMed:25389312, PubMed:25855297).

General Function:
Protein disulfide oxidoreductase activity
Specific Function:
Participates in various redox reactions through the reversible oxidation of its active center dithiol to a disulfide and catalyzes dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions. Plays a role in the reversible S-nitrosylation of cysteine residues in target proteins, and thereby contributes to the response to intracellular nitric oxide. Nitrosylates the active site Cys of CASP3 in response to nitric oxide (NO), and thereby inhibits caspase-3 activity. Induces the FOS/JUN AP-1 DNA-binding activity in ionizing radiation (IR) cells through its oxidation/reduction status and stimulates AP-1 transcriptional activity.ADF augments the expression of the interleukin-2 receptor TAC (IL2R/P55).
