Description:
Zeocin is a glycoprotein antibiotic that acts on most bacteria (including E. coli), fungi (e.g., yeast), plant cells, and animal cells in the body.
Zeocin reagent is a member of the bleomycin antibiotic family. Resistance is conferred by the Shble gene, which encodes a 13,665 Dalton protein. In cells expressing this protein, Zeocin is unable to bind and cut cellular DNA.
Concentration: 100 mg/mL
Use and synthesis method:
Zeocin is effective against most aerobic cells and can be used to select mammalian and insect cell lines, yeast, and bacteria. When selecting cells, the dosage of Zeocin is 50-2000 ug/ml (usually 300 ug/ml), depending on the cell type.
