General description
Kifunensine is an alkaloid compound, isolated from the actinomycete Kitasporia kifunensis.
Application
Kifunensine has been used as an inhibitor of mannosidase I in Jurkat T-cells, human embryonic kidney (HEK293T/17) cells and in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Kifunensine is a selective inhibitor of class I glycoprotein-processing α-mannosidases.
Kifunensine suppresses endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) via the inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum-associated mannosidase activity. It is also a glycosidase inhibitor for Class I CAZy glycosylhydrolase family 47.
