Cyclopiazonic acid

SKU: orb1308419

Description

Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) is a neurotoxic secondary metabolite from Aspergillus flavus that acts as a potent nanomolar inhibitor of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺ ATPase (SERCA). It is widely used in research to study calcium signaling, ER stress, and programmed cell death in both in vitro cellular models and in vivo plant studies.
