Tunicamycin is a nucleoside antibiotic that inhibits the biosynthesis of N-linked glycoproteins.
Widely used as a tool in cell biology and biochemistry to study protein glycosylation. It helps researchers investigate the effects of impaired glycosylation on cellular processes. This antibiotic induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by disrupting protein folding and glycosylation in the ER. This property is utilized in studies focused on understanding ER stress responses and unfolded protein response pathways.
Tunicamycin is a valuable tool for investigating the role of protein glycosylation in cellular functions and for inducing ER stress for studies related to unfolded protein responses.
