G-418 disulfate_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	G-418 disulfate (Geneticin sulfate), is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. G-418 disulfate is commonly used as a selective agent for eukaryotic cells[1].
Invitro	G418 sulfate, an aminoglycoside neomycin analogue, interferes with protein synthesis and has been used extensively for selection of mammalian cell lines that possess neomycin resistance (NR). The neomycin resistance (neo) gene is frequently used in eukaryotic vectors as a dominant selectable gene. G418 can be covalently bound to asialoorosomucoid (AsOR) to form a conjugate for hepatocyte-specific targeting and toxicity[2]. The human GD3 synthase cDNA was transfected into MDA-MB231 cells, and G-418 bulk selection was used to select cells stably overexpressing the GD3 synthase[2].An aminoglycoside antibiotic, G418, has been shown to be an inhibitor of many pro- and eukaryotes at concentrations from 1-300 microgram/ml[4].
