CAS 28643-80-3: Sodium nigericin
Description:Sodium nigericin is a potassium ionophore, primarily known for its ability to facilitate the transport of potassium ions across biological membranes. It is derived from the fermentation of certain Streptomyces species and is often used in biochemical research to study ion transport and cellular processes. This compound exhibits a unique structure that allows it to form complexes with potassium ions, effectively enabling their movement through lipid bilayers. Sodium nigericin is typically utilized in various laboratory applications, including studies on membrane potential and cellular signaling. It is important to note that while it is valuable in research, it can also exhibit cytotoxic effects at higher concentrations, necessitating careful handling and usage. Additionally, its mechanism of action involves disrupting ionic gradients, which can have significant implications for cellular homeostasis. Overall, sodium nigericin serves as a crucial tool in the field of biochemistry, particularly in the exploration of ion transport mechanisms and their physiological relevance.
