Cytochalasin C from Metarrhizium anisopliae
Cytochalasin C (CAS: 22144-76-9), molecular formula C30H37NO6, is a mycotoxin produced by Metarrhizium anisopliae. This potent biochemical agent is known for its effects on cell structure and function, primarily by inhibiting actin filament polymerisation. It is a valuable research tool in cell biology and biochemistry for studying cellular processes and the cytoskeleton. TSS supplies this compound for laboratory applications.
Cytoskeletal Research
Cytochalasin C is extensively used to investigate the role of actin in cellular processes such as cell division, cell motility, and intracellular transport due to its ability to disrupt actin polymerisation.
Biochemical Studies
As an enzyme inhibitor, it serves as a critical reagent in biochemical assays for understanding enzyme mechanisms and cellular signalling pathways involving actin dynamics.
Cell Biology Investigations
Researchers utilise Cytochalasin C to probe fundamental aspects of cell biology, including cell morphology, cytokinesis, and the regulation of the cytoskeleton.
