- Antimycin A complex composed mostly of Antimycin A1, A2, A3, and A4
- Used for the study of the mitochondrial function
Antimycin A is a bacterial metabolite complex produced by Streptomyces. It is composed majorly of Antimycin A1, A2, A3, and A4. Antimycin A is an antibiotic. It is capable of inducing apoptosis in mammalian cells, which is not prevented by the presence of Bcl-2. Antimycin A acts as an inhibitor of cellular respiration and more specifically, the electron transport chain of oxidative phosphorylation via its binding to cytochrome c reductase.
