Description

General description

A cyclododecadepsi-peptide ionophore antibiotic. Potassium ionophore of the mobile ion-carrier type that transports alkali metal ions across artificial or biological lipid membranes. Induces K⁺ conductivity in cell membranes at concentrations as low as 10^-8 M. Often used in membrane electrode systems for determining K⁺ concentration. Uncouples oxidative phosphorylation by binding to sites on membranes rich in sulfhydryl groups. Induces apoptosis in murine thymocytes. Also reported to inhibit NGF-induced neuronal differentiation.

A cyclododecadepsi-peptide ionophore antibiotic. Potassium ionophore that transports alkali metal ions across artificial or biological lipid membranes (Rb⁺ >K⁺ >Cs⁺ >Ag⁺ >NH₄⁺ >Na⁺ >Li⁺). Induces K⁺ conductivity in cell membranes at concentrations as low as 10 nM. Because of its ability to affect membrane transport of K⁺ and to create a hydrophobic layer on solid electrodes, it is often used in membrane electrode systems for determining K⁺ concentration. Useful in studies of K⁺ transport in mitochondria. Uncouples oxidative phosphorylation by binding to sites on membranes rich in sulfhydryl groups. Induces apoptosis in murine thymocytes. Also reported to inhibit NGF-induced neuronal differentiation.
