Biological Data

Biological description Mitosis inhibitor which which induces microtubule depolymerization in vivo and inhibits tubulin polymerziation. Arrest cell cycle at the G2/M phase. Widely used as a cell cycle synchronizing agent. Enhances homology-directed repair (HDR) efficiency (depending on cell cycle phase) and increases Cas9-mediated gene editing frequencies.
