General description
Cytochalasin D is a cell-permeable fungal toxin. It disrupts actin microfilaments and activates the p53-dependent pathways causing arrest of the cell cycle at the G1-S transition. Cytochalasin D inhibits smooth muscle contraction and insulin-stimulated but not basal transport of glucose.
