Product Information

• Name: Verrucarin A
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Verrucarin A is a macrolide mycotoxin, which is a secondary metabolite of certain fungi, particularly those in the Myrothecium genus. It is derived from naturally occurring environmental fungi, which produce this toxin under specific growth conditions. Verrucarin A exerts its effects primarily by inhibiting protein synthesis. It achieves this by binding to the 60S ribosomal subunit, thereby disrupting the elongation process during polypeptide chain synthesis.
