Ionomycin Calcium Salt is a calcium ionophore, which means it facilitates the transport of calcium ions across cellular membranes.

It is commonly employed to study calcium signaling and its role in various biological processes. It is particularly useful for investigating intracellular calcium levels, calcium-dependent enzymes, and cellular responses triggered by calcium influx.

Ionomycin Calcium Salt is used in cell culture experiments to induce a rapid and controlled increase in intracellular calcium levels. This allows the investigation of the downstream effects of calcium signaling pathways, including cellular activation, secretion, proliferation, and apoptosis.

Furthermore, it is frequently utilized in combination with other substances, such as fluorescent calcium indicators or protein kinase activators, to elucidate specific cellular mechanisms and signaling pathways.
