β-Mercaptoethylamine is a useful antioxidant .It is experimentally used as a radioprotective agent and It is also used to produce acute and chronic duodenal ulcers in rats and as an antidote to acetaminophen. β-Mercaptoethylamine derived from cysteine degradation is the simplest stable…

MP offers this grade of albumin as a more highly purified product than our traditional True Cohn Fraction V Powder. Due to lower manufacturing costs, this grade is available at a substantial savings relative to our True Cohn Fraction V Powder. Albumin is general blocking reagent in ELISA, as a…

Prior to lyophilization, the product is filtered through a 0.2 µm filter. Albumin is used to solubilize lipids, and is also used as a blocking agent in Western blots or ELISA applications. Globulin free albumins are suitable for use in applications where no other proteins should be present…

Ascorbic Acid, also known as Vitamin C, is a six-carbon lactone produced by plants and some animal species but not by humans and other primates. Protects cells against the damaging effects of radiation and oxygen radicals Increases the rate of mineralization in osteoblasts Involved in…

Sorbose is a ketose belonging to the group of sugars known as monosaccharides. It has a sweetness that is equivalent to sucrose. The commercial production of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) often begins with sorbose. L-Sorbose is used as a starting reagent for the commercial biosynthesis of ascorbic…

Sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) is the most commonly available borohydride, synthesized by reacting methylborate with sodium hydride in mineral oil. It is employed as a precursor for producing other metal borohydrides. Various approaches for qualitative and quantitative monitoring of sodium…

Mannose is a sugar monomer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. Mannose is a C-2 epimer of glucose. Mannose is important in human metabolism, especially in the glycosylation of certain proteins. Several congenital disorders of glycosylation are associated with mutations in enzymes involved in…

Putrescine is a GABA precursor in many biological systems and synthon for amido-ureas.

The molecule is a dialdehyde, consisting of two formyl (CHO) groups attached to adjacent carbon centres on a benzene ring. o-Phthalaldehyde is used for precolumn derivatization of amino acids for HPLC separation and for flow cytometric measurements of protein thiol groups. Used for fluorometric…

Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reaction has been used to detect lipid oxidation. When lipids are oxidized, malonaldehyde is formed. TBA reacts with malonaldehyde in hot acid to form a red complex of malonaldehyde:TBA (1:2). Used to quantitate lipopolysaccharides, carrageenan, and sialic acids; used…

Putrescine is a biogenic polyamine and precursor of spermidine. It is formed via decarboxylation of ornithine or by decarboxylation of arginine followed by hydrolysis. Binds to the polyamine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor and potentiates NMDA-induced currents; precursor of spermidine.

Lactulose is used as a test of small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Lactulose is used in the treatment of chronic constipation. It is useful in treating the hyperammonemia caused by hepatic encephalopathy, because it helps "draw out" ammonia from the body. Lactulose is also a food…

MES is a zwitterionic buffer. One of the "Good" buffers developed for biological applications. It has the advantages of: midrange pKa, maximum water solubility and minimum solubility in all other solvents, minimal salt effects, minimal change in pK with temperature chemically and…

Use as a TCA (Krebs cycle) supplement in cell culture applications. Sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate can be used to study x-ray crystallography, protein structural analysis, proteomics and optimization reagents. Sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate has been used to determine the calorimetric…

Bovine γ-globulin is a plasma protein fraction rich in antibodies. Bovine γ-globulin has been used as an immunological challenge in studies of mechanisms of immunotolerance. Bovine γ-globulins were used to study the constituents and pH changes in protein rich hyaluronan…

Adenosine is a nucleotide resulting from the union of one molecule of sugar -- d-ribose -- with a base -- l-adenine. Active in cardiovascular disorders Indicated in cases of angina pectoris Increases coronary output Vasodilator action Induced apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60…

Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that bind to the 50S ribosomal subunit and inhibit protein synthesis. This is an antimicrobial substance produced by the growth of certain strains of Streptomyces erythreus. It is a mixture consisting largely of erythromycin A with lesser amounts of…

NMDA agonist acting at the glycine site; precursor of glycine by serine hydroxymethyltransferase.
