| Application: | Chlortetracycline was used in fluorescence assays to detect the Ca+2 influx required for the completion of acrosome reaction in human spermatozoa. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Chlortetracycline is an antibiotic produced by some strains of Streptomyces aureofaciens. It inhibits protein synthesis (elongation) by preventing binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the 30S subunit. It is effective against Gram-positive and to a lesser degree Gram-negative bacteria than tetracycline. Mode of Resistance: Loss of cell wall permeability. |
| General description: | Chemical structure: tetracycline |
| Other Notes: | If stored frozen, chlortetracycline hydrochloride is expected to remain stable at least four years. |
