Description
  • Cell permeable mycotoxin.
  • Actin polymerization inhibitor. Binds to the barbed end of actin, reversibly inhibiting the elongation and shortening of actin filaments. Induces nuclear extrusion.
  • By disrupting actin polymerization, blocks diverse cellular functions, including cell division, migration, phagocytosis, exocytosis and chemotaxis. Induces DNA fragmentation.
  • Used in cytoskeletal reorganization, cell imaging and organelle trafficking studies.
  • Potent antitumor activity. Causes cell cycle arrest and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Shown to have an inhibitory effect on tumor cell growth without causing immunosuppressive effects.
  • Non-competitive glucose transport inhibitor. Inhibits of GLUT1/GLUT2 mediated monosaccharide transport across the plasma membrane. Does not inhibit GLUT5.
  • Used for testing the genotoxicity of substances in the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome (CBMN cyt) assay.
  • Used in cloning through nuclear transfer. Enucleated recipient cells are treated with cytochalasin B. Cytochalasin B makes the cytoplasm of the oocytes more fluid and makes it possible to aspirate the nuclear genome of the oocyte within a small vesicle of plasma membrane into a micro-needle.
  • Decreases the expression levels of DNMT1, DNMT3a, DNMT3b, HAT1 and HDAC1 at the pronuclear stage in porcine embryos.
  • Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis inhibitor.
  • Platelet aggregation inhibitor.
