Cytochalasin D is a cell permeable fungal toxin that binds to the barbed end of actin filaments inhibiting both the association and dissociation of subunits. This compound causes the disruption of actin filaments and inhibition of actin polymerization. Synonyms: Zygosporin A, 3-Benzyl-3,3-alpha, 4,...

Calcein is an indicator for the determination of calcium by titration with EDTA. The excitation wavelength and emission wavelength are 495/515 nm. It is suitable for fluorometric determination of calcium. It does not fluoresce in strong alkaline solution, but an intense fluorescence appears in the...

Evans Blue is a potent inhibitor of L-glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles via EAAT. Evans Blue also inhibits AMPA and kainate receptor-mediated currents (IC50 values are 220 and 150 nM respectively). The compound is also a P2X-selective purinoceptor antagonist. Evans Blue used in double-labeling...

Dextran is a high molecular weight polymer of anhydroglucose. It is composed of approximately 95% α-D-(1-->6) linkages. The remaining a(1-->3) linkages account for the branching of dextran. Conflicting data on the branch lengths implies that the average branch length is less than three...

Collagenases degrade native helical collagen fibrils. Plays an important role in connective tissue metabolism Produced by specific cells involved in repairs and remodeling processes Type II enzyme that contains greater clostripain activity Collagenase is used for collagen structural and biosynthetic...

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 to...

SM buffer (sterile solution)

Urea is a prinicipal protein metabolite end product of nitrogen metabolism in most mammals, formed by the enzymatic reactions of the Kreb's cycle and the major product for the removal of free ammonia (NH4+) in vivo. Urea is a mild agent usually used in the solubilization and denaturation of...

Mineral Oil is a colorless, odorless mixture of alkanes from a mineral source. It is often used as an inert overlay to minimize evaporation in molecular biology applications, including PCR, but has many other applications in other research fields.

Poly-L-lysine is a positively charged amino acid polymer. Poly-lysine binds to DNA, red cell membrane and any negatively charged protein. It is typically used as a coating substrate for culture dishes, slides, etc. It enhances electrostatic interaction between negatively charged ions of the cell...

L-Cysteine is a proteinogenic amino acid incorporated into proteins as directed by the genetic code. The thiol-side chain participates in a variety of oxidation/reduction reactions within the cell. The side chain participates in the formation of β bonds that modulate the secondary and ternary...

Non-essential amino acid for human development; referred to as an excitatory amino acid (EAA) due to its role in neurotransmission. L-Glutamic Acid Monosodium Salt is used as a neurotransmitter at fast synapses; agonist at kainate, NMDA and quisqualate receptors. Agonist at kainate, NMDA, and...

Puromycin is an antibiotic of unique structure and biological activity. It is produced by fermentation using Streptomyces albo-niger. There are four aspects of puromycin's biological activity that are 1) antitumor effect; 2) nephrotoxic action; 3) inhibition of purine and/or protein synthesis...

Sodium azide is used as a preservative for laboratory reagents; a bacteriostatic agent in storage solutions.
