Melford Monensin
Description
Monensin sodium salt is a compound commonly used in cell biology and molecular biology research. As an ionophore, it facilitates the transport of ions across cell membranes.
Monensin is often used as a research tool to study and manipulate intracellular processes including the study of ion transport and membrane potential in cells. It can form complexes with monovalent cations, such as sodium and potassium, and transport them across cell membranes. This property makes it useful for investigating ion gradients and studying the role of ion transport in various cellular functions.
Additionally, Monensin has been found to reduce methane production by inhibiting certain methane-producing bacteria.
