Tunicamycin, N-linked glycosylation Inhibitor 10 mg   908-297 $85.00
Background
Tunicamycin is an inhibitor of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-dolichol phosphate N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase (GPT), acting to block the initial step of dolichol-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis. Treatment with tunicamycin blocks the synthesis of asparagine (N)-linked glycoproteins in the ER, and induces expression of binding protein (BiP) as part of the unfolded protein response (UPR).
