Enniatin B
Application Notes
Enniatins are a family of depsipeptide ionophores produced by several Fusarium species. Recently, the effects of the enniatins on acyl-CoA cholesterol transferase, transporters and the selectivity of their antitumor action have received more focus. Enniatin B is the most studied of four major analogues of the enniatin complex.
