CAS 56092-81-0: Ionomycin
Description:Ionomycin is a calcium ionophore, a type of chemical compound that facilitates the transport of calcium ions across cellular membranes. It is derived from the bacterium *Streptomyces conglobatus* and is known for its ability to increase intracellular calcium levels, which can influence various cellular processes, including signal transduction and muscle contraction. Ionomycin is a lipophilic compound, allowing it to easily penetrate lipid membranes. It exhibits a high affinity for calcium ions, making it useful in research settings to study calcium signaling pathways. Additionally, Ionomycin has been employed in various biological assays and experiments, particularly in immunology and cell biology, to activate T-cells and other immune responses. Its mechanism of action involves the formation of complexes with calcium ions, which then diffuse across membranes, leading to an increase in cytosolic calcium concentration. While it has valuable applications in research, caution is advised due to its potent effects on cellular calcium homeostasis, which can lead to cytotoxicity at high concentrations.
