Agaric acid

SKU: orb1308683

Description

Agaricic acid, an adenine nucleotide translocase antagonist sourced from fungi like Polyporus officinalis, induces mitochondrial permeability transition. This action promotes calcium efflux, membrane depolarization, and swelling, making it a useful research tool for studying mitochondrial dysfunction and lipid metabolism regulation in experimental models.
