Product Inquiry
Puromycin (58-58-2) is an aminonucleoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces alboniger. It is a protein synthesis inhibitor that disrupts peptide transfer on ribosomes causing premature chain termination.1 It is an inhibitor of dipeptidyl-peptidase II and cytosolic alanyl aminopeptidase.2 Puromycin also inhibits protein transport in mitochondria.3
