Biological Activity

Latrunculin A is a reversible inhibitor of actin assembly; blocks actin adenine nucleotide exchange. Complexes with actin in vitro and interacts with actin monomers only, unlike cytochalasins. Prevents actin repolymerization into filaments and disrupts the actin cytoskeleton.

This product is typically reconstituted in DMSO as a primary solvent.
