Puromycin dihydrochloride

Puromycin dihydrochloride is a protein synthesis inhibitor. Puromycin 2HCl leads to the premature release of polypeptide chains as polypeptidyl purine derivatives. Analog of the 3' end of aminoacyl-tRNA. Puromycin dihydrochloride Inhibits translation in both in vitro and in vivo systems. Puromycin dihydrochloride inhibits the transport of proteins into the mitochondria in vitro. Puromycin inhibits protein import into mitochondria by interfering with an ATP-dependent step in the import process and that the ATP-dependent component in the reaction is located inside the inner mitochondrial membrane.
