Diterpene glucoside with numerous effects. Induces H+ extrusion from plant cells by 14-3-3-dependent activation of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase. It induces translocation of 14-3-3 proteins from the cytosol to the membrane and causes a dramatic increase in cytosolic 14-3-3s. Stimulates release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, cell enlargement, ion uptake, seed germination, opening the stomata, etc. Markedly reduces the cell’s capability for H2O2 scavenging. Fusicoccin has been demonstrated to cause randomization of asymmetry of the left-right axis (heterotaxia) in Xenopus embryos. Purity: ≥90% (HPLC). Solubility: Soluble in ethanol and chloroform. Slightly soluble in ethyl acetate, ethyl ether, sparingly soluble in acetone. Long Term Storage: -20°C.
