Synonyms: Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate dihydrate; EDTA disodium salt; EDTA-Na2; Edathamil; Edetate disodium salt dihydrate; Sequestrene Na2
Formula: C10H14N2Na2O8 · 2H2O
Formula Weight: 372.24
CAS No.: 6381-92-6
Purity: 98.5-101.5% (titration)
Application: Chelator of divalent cations. Inhibits enzymes, such as metalloproteases, that require divalent cations for activity.
Biochem/physiol Actions: Zinc-dependent metalloproteinases, as well as other proteases that are stabilized by calcium, can be effectively inhibited by chelation of divalent metal ions with EDTA. Other chelators such as EGTA, specific for calcium, and 1,10-phenanthroline, highly specific for zinc, can be used to target these two different types of proteases.
