Application Notes

Geldanamycin is benzoquinone ansamycin antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus. It is a potent antitumor metabolite that acts by binding to the 90-kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90) essential to maintain the conformation, stability, activity and cellular localisation of several key oncogenic proteins such as ERBB2, C-RAF, CDK4, AKT/PKB, steroid hormone receptors, mutant p53, HIF-1α, survivin and telomerase hTERT.
