K - A mitotic agent is a special type of poison that is used to suppress the activity of the mitotic cycle in cells. This poison has been the subject of a wide range of research in the field of medical and biological science, as it has been found to have a powerful inhibitory effect on the process of cell division.
Called a k-mitoxic agent, this venom is also known as a statotoxic (statitis) or stetinotoxic venom. Another name for it is statymycin. Due to its unique composition, this type of substance has the ability to inhibit the processes of accelerated cell division and suppress the activity of mitochondria. At the same time, RNA and DNA synthesis is inhibited, resulting in inhibition of protein synthesis processes. The result of the influence of this poison is a strong decrease in cell mass with a simultaneous change in their shape.
In the mechanism of action of statomycin, a special role is played by the inactivation of Tokyo kinase, which regulates the functioning of signal transmission processes from DNA receptors. Induction of mitosis is of particular importance; however, under the influence of this phenomenon, there is an increase in the activity of the eukaryotic genomic profile (in this case, changes concern, first of all, the retinol gene).
