G418 also known as Geneticin® is an aminoglycoside antibiotic related to Gentamicin. Used as a selective agent in transfection of eukaryotic cells. Has highest potency ≥730 µg/mg and purity ≥98%.
Description | |
---|---|
Overview | Aminoglycoside related to gentamycin that inhibits prokaryotic and eukaryotic protein synthesis. Toxic to bacteria, yeast, protozoans, helminths, higher plant, and mammalian cells. Widely used in the selection of eukaryotic expression vectors carrying the bacterialneor/kanr genes. The product of these genes, aminoglycoside 3′-phosphotransferase, inactivates G418, neomycin, and kanamycin by phosphorylation. Introduction of either of these genes into cells can confer resistance to G418, which enables cells to grow in media containing G418. |
Also available as a sterile-filtered aqueous solution (Cat. No. 345812), a sterile filtered solution in 100 mM HEPES (Cat. No. 508940), and a sterile-filtered solution PBS (Cat. No.509227). | |
