Description

General description

A cell-permeable F-actin probe. This macrocyclic cyclodepsipeptide, isolated from the marine sponge Jaspis johnstoni, is a potent inducer of actin polymerization and stabilization in vitro. It competes with Phalloidin (Cat. No. 516640) for actin binding (K_d = 15 nM) and enhances apoptosis induced by interleukin 2 (IL-2) deprivation. Also displays fungicidal, insecticidal, and anticancer properties.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: no

Kd = 15 nM for actin binding
