General Information

• Cytochalasin B is a cell-permeable fungal toxin / mycotoxin considered to be an inhibitor of cytoplasmic division by blocking the formation of contractile microfilaments

Applications

• Cytochalasin B can inhibit platelet aggregation and actin polymerization
• Cytochalasin B is commonly used in studies on cytokinesis due to its ability to act as an inhibitor
• It is used for characterizing some of the polymerization properties of actin
• This compound can also induce DNA fragmentation, inhibit cell division, and inhibit glucose transport, among other molecular processes
• It could be used as a probe for the two hexose-transport systems in rat L6 myoblasts
• Cytochalasin B is commonly used in studies of glucose transporters (GLUT)
• It can be used in in vitro micronucleus assay protocols
