Biological description
Potent calcium ionophore which shows selectivity for Ca2+ over Mg2+ and K+. Acts as a Ca2+ carrier. Ionomycin calcium salt also available.
Directly stimulates store-regulated cation entry across biological membranes to enhance Ca2+ influx and increase intracellular Ca2+ concentration.
Synergies with with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) to enhance activation of PKC. Frequently used in combination with PMA to stimulate T-cell activation and intracellular production of cytokines.
