General description

Chemical structure: tetracycline

Application

Duramycin is used to study chloride secretion by cardial, pancreatic and airway epithelial voltage-gated ion channels. It is used to study cystic fibrosis and as a novel phosphatidylethanolamine-binding molecular probe. It is used to stimulate sodium transport in cultured human colonic epithelia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Duramycin is the smallest known polypeptide since it has only 19 amino acids. It has a defined 3-dimensional binding structure. Duramycin binds phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdE) at a 1:1 ratio with high affinity and exclusive specificity. It enhances chloride secretion in airway epithelium.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
