Anti-neoplastic antibiotic. Inhibits DNA-primed RNA polymerase by complexing with DNA via deoxyguanosine residues. At higher concentrations, DNA polymerase is inhibited. Also acts as a competitive inhibitor of serine proteases. Inhibits cell growth and colony formation in synchronized HeLa cells. Induces apoptosis in many cell lines. However, actinomycin D has also been shown to suppress etoposide-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells. Note: 1 set = 20 x 200 µg. Stability: heat resistant and stable between pH 2 and 11. Decomposed by strong acids and bases.

凋亡作為一種正常的細(xì)胞生物學(xué)行為，其研究需要一系列嚴(yán)格的實驗程序，這可以通過多種誘導(dǎo)劑刺激細(xì)胞膜受體或激活線粒體調(diào)亡途徑來誘導(dǎo)細(xì)胞的凋亡。
