Applications
• Used as an inhibitor to study cell-free protein biosynthesis in eukaryotes
• Used to block ribosome-dependent in vivo polypeptide synthesis
• Used in genome editing utilizing the CRISPR/Cas9 system
• Used to clear macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques
• Used to activate cumulus-free equine oocytes, and to have neuroprotective properties
