Description | Cell permeable marine toxin [1]. Disrupts microfilament-mediated processes [2]. Actin polymerization inhibitor in vitro and in vivo by the formation of a 1:1 complex with monomeric G-actin [1, 2, 3]. Depolymerizes actin filaments (F-actin) [3]. Less potent than Latrunculin A (Prod. No. bs-75028C). May have fewer unwanted effects than latrunculin A and may be preferred for short-term studies [4, 5]. Acts via a different mechanism than cytochalasins. |
