Application
Valinomycin has been used: to equilibrate intracellular pH and extracellular pH of 5 (and 6-)-carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (cFSE) in Escherichia coli strain B23as an ionophore to equilibrate intracellular pH and extracellular pH of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strainsto establish the desired pH for acid-base transition and formation of K+-valinomycin diffusion potential
Biochem/physiol Actions
K+-selective ionophoric cyclodepsipeptide; potassium ionophore which uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, induces apoptosis in murine thymocytes, inhibits NGF-induced neuronal differentiation and antagonizes ET-induced vasoconstriction.
Valinomycin selectively transfers alkali metal ions via biological and synthetic membranes. The formation of a metal ion-peptide complex contributes to this ion-transporting. Valinomycin can create stable complexes with potassium, rubidium, and cesium (K+, Rb+, and Cs+) .
General description
Chemical structure: peptide
Valinomycin is a cyclic peptide, which contains d-valine,d-α-hydroxyvaleric acid,l-valine, andl-lactic acid in the sequential order of cyclo-[(l-Val-d-Hyv-d-Val-l-Lac)3].
