Latrunculin
The latrunculins are a family of natural products and toxins produced by certain sponges, including genus Latrunculia, whence the name is derived. It binds actin monomers near the nucleotide binding cleft with 1:1 stoichiometry and prevents them from polymerizing. Administered in vivo, this effect results in disruption of the actin filaments of the cytoskeleton. This property has been used to great effect in the discovery of cadherin distribution regulation.
