Kifunensine

An alkaloid isolated in 1987 from an actinobacterium, Kitasatosporia kifunense: it blocks the enzyme mannosidase I and is used mainly in cell culture to produce glycoproteins with mannose-rich sugar chains. This family brings together the active ingredient and labelled standards.

Did you know?When it was discovered it was described as a new immunoactive substance; today it is valued in laboratories because it is 50 to 100 times more potent than deoxymannojirimycin, a similar inhibitor.
