Product Information

• Name: Atractyloside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Atractyloside is a diterpene glycoside, which is a naturally occurring compound primarily extracted from the plant Atractylis gummifera. This compound acts as a potent inhibitor of the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) located in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Its mode of action involves binding to the ANT, thereby obstructing the exchange of ADP and ATP across the mitochondrial membrane, a crucial process in cellular energy metabolism.
