Description

General description

Chemical structure: peptide

Application

Actinomycin D is used as a selection agent and is used in banding techniques to differentiate between different regions of chromosomes. Actinomycin induces apoptosis and is used as a potent antitumor agent [1].

Biochem/physiol Actions

An antineoplastic antibiotic that inhibits cell proliferation by forming a stable complex with DNA and blocking the movement of RNA polymerase which interferes with DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. Induces apoptosis. Potent antitumor agent. For cell culture applications, actinomycin D is used as a selection agent and in banding techniques to differentiate between different regions of chromosomes.
