Description
Product introduction：Microcystins (MCs) are hepatotoxic cyclic heptapeptides, produced by various cyanobacterial species. MC’s cause adverse effects on freshwater systems with algae blooms.Microcystin WR contains tryptophane (W) in position 2 and arginine (R) in position 4.Microcystins are potent inhibitors of protein phosphatase types 1 and 2A (IC50 value of MC-WR for inhibiting PP2A = 0.18 nM). No effects on protein kinases are known. MCs are known to be hepatic tumor promoters in experimental animal models
