Product Description
An antibiotic produced by Streptomyces griseus, which acts as an inhibitor of protein synthesis in eukaryotes but not prokaryotes. In molecular biology applications it is used in the selection of wild type CAN1, CYH2 and LYS2 genes. Cycloheximide's selectivity makes it active against yeast and fungi but tolerated by most bacteria. This feature has allowed brewer’s to suppress the growth of culture yeast and detect unwanted bacteria. Cycloheximide also used to induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells, T cell hybridomas, Burkitt’s lymphoma cells, and a variety of other cell types. Additionally, plant researchers have shown it to stimulate ethylene production in fruit and leaves.
