General description

Chemical structure: macrolide
May contain the homologues monactin and dinactin

Application

Nonactin is used as a neutral lipid membrane soluble ammonium (and potassium) ionophore, as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, and to inhibit surface expression of certain heat shock proteins (HSP60) .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nonactin is a macrotetrolide that forms complexes with alkali cations, such as potassium and sodium. Nonactin has been reported to inhibit the processing of cytoplasmic precursor proteins destined for the mitochondria. Nonactin is a uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation .

Packaging

5 mg

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store under inert gas.Moisturesensitive. Keep in a dry place.

We describe the phenomenon of mechanoelectrical transduction in macroscopic lipid bilayer membranes modified by two cation-selective ionophores, valinomycin and nonactin. We found that bulging these membranes, while maintaining the membrane tension constant, produced a marked supralinear increase in specific carrier-mediated
