Atractyloside Dipotassium Salt by Molecular Depot is a atractyloside dipotassium salt, a glycoside that inhibits the mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocase. Atractyloside binds the translocase from the outside of the inner membrane and locks it in one conformation, which stops ADP entering the matrix and ATP leaving it. It is used to inhibit adenine nucleotide translocase in mitochondrial research, to trigger the permeability transition in apoptosis studies and in bioenergetics. Each unit contains 1 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
