Research Area: Cancer
Biological Activity:
Streptozotocin is a naturally occurring chemical that is particularly toxic to the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas in mammals. It is used in medicine for treating certain cancers of the Islets of Langerhans and used in medical research to produce an animal model for Type 1 diabetes. Streptozocin is also a synthetic antineoplastic agent that is chemically related to other nitrosoureas used in cancer chemotherapy. [1]

Application
Streptozocin is used to induce Type 1 diabetes for medical research.
General description
Streptozotocin, a glucosamine-nitrosourea, is a DNA alkylating agent that enters cells exclusively via the GLUT2 glucose transport protein. Streptozocin, a diabetagen, is especially toxic to pancreatic islet insulin-producing β-cells. It is toxic to GLUT2 positive neuroendocrine tumor cells.
