Descripción

Application

Cyclohexamide (CHX) is widely used for selection of CHX-resistant strains of yeast and fungi, controlled inhibition of protein synthesis for detection of short-lived proteins, super-induction of protein expression, and apoptosis induction or facilitation of apoptosis induction by death receptors. It has been shown to selectively clear macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques, activate cumulus-free equine oocytes, and to have neuroprotective properties.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cycloheximide (CHX) is an antibiotic produced by Strptomyces sp.. Its main biological activity is translation inhibition in eukaryotes resulting in cell growth arrest and cell death. CHX is widely used for selection of CHX-resistant strains of yeast and fungi, controlled inhibition of protein synthesis for detection of short-lived proteins and super-induction of protein expression, and apoptosis induction or facilitation of apoptosis induction by death receptors.

Cyclohexamide inhibits protein biosynthesis in eukaryotic cells by binding with the 80S ribosome.
