Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Tunicamycin, a mixture of nucleoside antibiotics, is a specific inhibitor of N-linked glycoslylation that blocks the first step of glycoprotein synthesis thereby inducing protein unfolding. Tunicamycin impairs ALK phosphorylation and disrupts pro-survival signaling and cell viability in various neuroblastoma cell lines. Tunicamycin can also inhibit protein palmitoylation.
