Leptomycin B (Cat.No:I010486) is a natural compound derived from Streptomyces bacteria. It is a potent inhibitor of nuclear export, specifically targeting the CRM1 protein. By blocking the export of certain proteins from the nucleus, Leptomycin B disrupts critical cellular processes involved in cell proliferation and survival. It has been widely studied for its potential in cancer treatment and as a tool in cell biology research.
