| Application: | • In yeast cells, doxycycline has been used in doxycycline-inducible system for overexpression of methyltransferase Hmt1 (hnRNP methyltransferase 1). • It has been used in the doxycycline-inducible IFITM (interferon-induced transmembrane) cell lines. • It has also been used as an antimicrobial agent. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Doxycycline is a semisynthetic tetracycline that is active against bacteria, mycoplasma and protozoan parasites. It inhibits the bacterial protein synthesis by inhibiting the interaction of aminoacyl-tRNA and the bacterial ribosome. |
| Other Notes: | Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. |
