QUICK LINKS

Concanamycin A is a compound that is primarily utilized for research into cellular autophagy and V-ATPase inhibition. It acts by specifically inhibiting the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) proton pump, which is essential for acidifying intracellular compartments in eukaryotic cells. This action makes concanamycin A useful in examining the acidification of endosomes, lysosomes, and the Golgi apparatus. Researchers also use this compound to study the mechanisms of intracellular protein degradation, as V-ATPase activity is for the function of the lysosome, a central organelle in the autophagic process. Additionally, concanamycin A is of interest in investigations of ion homeostasis and membrane trafficking due to its influence on cellular pH gradients.

I just received the concA powder. it was shipped at room temperature, but it say to store it at -20. Is it normal? Thanks Carla

Asked by: Cb84
Thank you for your question. Concanamycin A (CAS 80890-47-7) sc-202111 is stable at ambient temperatures. While it is shipped at ambient temperatures it should be kept at -20 °C for long-term storage. Short-term exposure to ambient temperatures has no detrimental effect on the quality or the viability of Concanamycin A.
