Importazole is a small molecule inhibitor of the transport receptor importin-β. Importazole specifically inhibits the function of importin-β, likely by altering its interaction with RanGTP. Importazole is a valuable tool to evaluate the function of the importin-β/RanGTP pathway at specific stages during the cell cycle. Price and Availability
