Concanamycin C from Streptomyces sp.
Concanamycin C (CAS: 81552-34-3), a macrolide antibiotic with formula C45H74O13 and molecular weight 823.06, is supplied by Tech Serve Solutions. This compound acts as a potent inhibitor of vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) enzymes. It is primarily utilised in research to investigate cellular processes, including the suppression of antigen presentation by MHC class II molecules and the functional roles of V-ATPases in eukaryotic organelle acidification.

Inhibition of V-ATPase Activity
Concanamycin C is a well-established inhibitor of vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). This makes it a valuable tool for studying the physiological roles of V-ATPases in cellular functions such as endosomal and lysosomal acidification.
Immunology Research
This compound can be employed to suppress antigen presentation mediated by MHC class II molecules. Its use allows researchers to investigate immune responses and antigen processing pathways.
Cell Biology Studies
Due to its effect on organelle acidification, Concanamycin C is useful in studies related to intracellular trafficking, protein degradation, and other cellular processes dependent on vacuolar proton pumps.
