General description
Chemical structure: macrolide
Application
Bafilomycin A1 has been used:
- as an autophagy inhibitor to study its effects on hepatic steatosis in human hepatocytes
- as a vacuolar-type H+ -ATPase inhibitor to study its effects on the cell viability, percentage of PI-positive cells, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in mice INS-1 cells
- as a vacuolar-type H+ -ATPase inhibitor to study its effects on tau degradation in human SH-SY5Y cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
A specific inhibitor of vacuolar type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) in animal cells, plant cells and microorganisms.
Bafilomycin A1 inhibits autophagosome-lysosome fusion and autolysosome acidification, the steps involved in the autophagic process that is required for maintaining functional autophagic flux and cellular homeostasis.
