Swinholide A

CC
Catalog No. ABIN924961

Quick Overview for Swinholide A (ABIN924961)

Application

Cell Culture (CC)
  • Purpose

    Swinholide A is a natural dimeric dilactone macrolide toxin that causes actin depolymerization in cells.

    Purity

    > 98 % (HPLC)
  • Application Notes

    Can be used in cell biology to distinguish between the effects induced by increasing intracellular concentrations of G-actin from those induced by a reduction in F-actin.

  • Background

    Swinholide A is a 44-carbon dimeric dilactone ring macrolide isolated from the marine sponge Theonella swinhoei. In vitro, it sequesters actin dimers with a binding stochiometry of 1:1, and it rapidly severs F-actin with high cooperativity. Swinholice A is potently cytotoxic by disruption of the actin cytoskeleton. It does not block progression of cells through the cell cycle, but does prevent cytokinesis.
