Description: Enniatins B decreases the activation of ERK (p44/p42). Enniatin B is a Fusarium mycotoxin. Enniatin B inhibits acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity with an IC50 of 113 µM in an enzyme assay using rat liver microsomes. Target: ERK. Smiles:...

Enniatins are cyclichexadepsipeptides commonly isolated from fungi. Many act as ionophores, forming pores in cellular membranes to allow selective ion transport. Enniatin B is a relatively poor ionophore with some capacity to facilitate import of K+ and Na+ across membranes. It inhibits the pleiotropic drug...

Cyclohexadepsipeptide mycotoxin. One of four major analogs in the enniatin complex. Commonly found food contaminant in cereals and their products. Ionophore antibiotic (less ionophoric than Enniatin A). Incorporation into the cell membrane forms dimeric structures that transport monovalent ions across the membrane...

Mycotoxin contaminant found in cereal grains.
