General description: An enrichment supplement whose 2% aqueous solution is autoclavable. The solution contains flocculent dispersible precipitate. It is used for the preparation of Thayer Martin Medium.
Application: The solubility of α-elastin has been applied to construction of elastin-mimetic biomaterials.
Biochem/physiol Actions: Oxygen transporter. The Fe2+/Fe3+ balance is a physiological indicator of blood oxygenation; deoxygenated hemoglobin accessorizes a feedback loop by reducing nitrite to NO, a vasodilator which enhances blood flow to oxygen-deprived tissues.
RIDADR: NONH for all modes of transport
