Alamethicin
Application Notes
Alamethicin applications includes increasing [32P] incorporation into phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and mermeabilization of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles.It causes fusion of lipid vesicles. It has also been used to study membrane interactions of antimicrobial peptides. It catalyzes the exchange of protons for monovalent cations with little difference in affinities and has the ability to transport cations through. It also causes hemolysis of erythrocytes and because it decreases the surface tension of water, it may have use as a detergent.
