Geneticin Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Geneticin (also known as G418) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic similar in structure to gentamicin B1, produced by Micromonospora rhodorangea. Geneticin blocks polypeptide synthesis by inhibiting the elongation step in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and is commonly used in laboratory research to select genetically engineered cells. Resistance to Geneticin is conferred by the neo gene from Tn5 encoding an aminoglycoside 3‘-phosphotransferase, APH 3‘ II.
