Información del producto

• Nombre: Tunicamycin V
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: Tunicamycin V is an antibiotic and nucleoside analog, which is a secondary metabolite derived from various Streptomyces species. It functions predominantly by inhibiting the initial step of N-linked glycosylation, a critical post-translational modification process in eukaryotic cells. This inhibition occurs through the blockage of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine: dolichyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase, thereby preventing the synthesis of dolichol-linked oligosaccharides and ultimately affecting protein folding and quality control mechanisms within the endoplasmic reticulum.
