Apoptosis is defined as a process of deliberate cell suicide in a multicellular organism. It is one of the main types of programmed cell death (PCD), and involves an orchestrated series of biochemical events leading to a characteristic cell morphology and death.

The apoptotic process is executed in such a way as to safely dispose of dead cells and fragments.

Apoptosis is a crucial element of the ontogenesis of multicellular organisms. Any aberration in it may lead to neoplastic events, to cancer and to death of the entire organism. Therefore, the Fermentek "Apoptosis related products” are of use in biological and medical research. Some have been the basis for the development of novel drugs.

Description

Antimycin A is a complex of related macrocyclic lactones, predominantly A1 to A4, isolated from several species of Streptomyces, first reported in the early 1950s for potent antifungal activity. There are over 20 known analogues in the antimycin A class, mostly involving variation of the fatty acid ester chain length or adjacent alkyl starting unit. Antimycin A binds to cytochrome C reductase at the Qi site, inhibiting the oxidation of ubiquinol to ubiquinone. Antimycin A is widely used as a bioprobe of respiration and other applications with over 5,000 literature citations.

Some of data brought in this page, such as Molecular Weight, relates to Antimycin A1
