Product Description: Epothilone C is a polyketide natural product. Epothilone C is produced by the combined action of one nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and nine polyketide synthase (PKS) modules in a multienzyme system. Epothilone C can be used for tumor research[1][2][3].
Applications: Cancer-programmed cell death
Formula: C26H39NO5S
