Tunicamycin mixture is a mixture of tunicamycins with variable trans-2,3-unsaturated branched chain fatty acid (BFCA) chain lengths. Tunicamycins are anti-microbial agents that are active against Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and viruses. They inhibit the N-acetylhexosamine (HexNAc) phosphotransferase family of...

White solid. A glucosamine-containing pryrimidine nucleotide and an inhibitor of glucosaminyl-1-phosphate transferase. It induces apoptosis in cultured brain neurons, Melanoma and SV40-transformed cells by inhibiting N-linked glycosylation.

Tunicamycin is a mixture of homologuous nucleoside antibiotics. It is useful in glycoprotein research. It is an inhibitor of N-linked glycosylation and the formation of N-glycosidic protein-carbohydrate linkages. It causes the arrest cell cycle in late G1. Melting Point: As Reported, , Solubility: , Soluble...
