Microcystin-LY

Microcystin-LY

• CAS Number: 123304-10-9
• UNSPSC Description: Microcystin-LY, a cyclic heptapeptide toxin from the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa[2], acts as an activator of the Nrf2 pathway to induce oxidative stress response, and the induction effect is most obvious at 3μM.[1].
