Description

Application
Used in biochemical and membrane transport studies. Tool for studying ion gradients and mitochondrial function. Research in cellular physiology and bioenergetics.

Purpose
Primarily used to selectively transport potassium ions across membranes helping scientists understand ion balance and energy processes in cells.

General Description
Valinomycin is a naturally occurring cyclic peptide antibiotic produced by bacteria such as Streptomyces. It acts as an ion carrier (ionophore) specifically transporting potassium ions across biological membranes.
