Product Description
Structurally unique marine toxin. Actin filament modulator. 10- to 100-fold more potent than cytochalasins. Whereas cytochalasin D (Prod. No. ALX-380-031) induces dissolution of F-actin and stress fiber contraction in fibroblasts in culture, latrunculin B causes a shortening and thickening of stress fibers.
