Description

Valinomycin is a naturally occurring cyclic dodecadepsipeptide produced by certain strains of Streptomyces bacteria.

Valinomycin is a naturally occurring cyclic dodecadepsipeptide produced by certain strains of Streptomyces bacteria. It is an ionophore, meaning it facilitates the transport of ions across biological membranes. Specifically, it acts as a potassium ionophore, transporting potassium ions across lipid bilayers. This activity disrupts ion gradients and membrane potentials in cells.

Widely used in research settings as a tool to study ion transport and membrane potential in cells. Its ability to selectively transport potassium ions makes it valuable in experiments exploring cellular electrophysiology. Valinomycin is used to manipulate ion concentrations and study mitochondrial function, as it can alter the electrochemical potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Useful in a variety of experiments aimed at understanding cellular and mitochondrial physiology. It is often used alongside other tools to investigate ion transport mechanisms and study the effects of altered ion concentrations on cellular processes.
