Phalloidin from Amanita phalloides
Phalloidin from Amanita phalloides (CAS: 17466-45-4) is a cyclic heptapeptide toxin. Its empirical formula is C35H48N8O11S with a molecular weight of 788.87 g/mol. This bioactive molecule is primarily utilised as a critical tool in cell biology for studying actin dynamics and as a probe for imaging cellular structures. It is widely employed in microscopy for tracking cellular processes and verifying cytoskeletal organisation.

Actin Staining and Visualization
Phalloidin binds with high affinity to F-actin filaments, making it an indispensable probe for visualising the actin cytoskeleton in fixed and permeabilised cells. Its specificity allows for detailed studies of cell shape, motility, and intracellular transport.
Cellular Research and Diagnostics
Used in various cell biology research applications, including studying cell division, migration, and development. It serves as a vital reagent for understanding cellular mechanics and signalling pathways.
In Vivo/In Vitro Stem Cell Tracking
Phalloidin is applied for tracking stem cell behaviour and differentiation processes. Its ability to highlight cytoskeletal changes aids in characterising stem cell populations and their responses to stimuli.
Biochemical Assays
Utilised in biochemical assays to quantify or study actin polymerisation and depolymerisation dynamics. This helps in the characterisation of actin-binding proteins and drug screening.
