General description

A cell-permeable fungal toxin that is approximately 10 times more potent than cytochalasin B in inhibiting actin filament function. Does not inhibit monosaccharide transport across cell membranes. Inhibits cytoplasmic division by blocking the formation of contractile microfilaments at 10 µM. Inactivates low conductance K+ channels. Also modulates CD4 cross-linking in T lymphocytes and increases intracellular Ca2+ levels. Cytochalasin D also exhibits antibiotic and anti-tumor activity.
