Description

Tetradecyl 2-Acetamido-2-Deoxy-β-D-Glucopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and specialized glycoside derivative, widely recognized for its utility in membrane protein research and biotechnology. Its core value lies in its ability to solubilize and stabilize integral membrane proteins without denaturation, a critical requirement for structural and functional studies. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biochemical, and life science industries who require reliable, high-quality reagents for challenging protein purification and crystallization workflows.

Application

• Membrane Protein Solubilization: A key detergent for extracting and stabilizing integral membrane proteins from lipid bilayers for biochemical analysis.
• Structural Biology: Used in the crystallization of membrane proteins for X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy studies.
• Biopharmaceutical Development: Employed in the purification and formulation processes of membrane-bound drug targets and therapeutic proteins.
• Cell Lysis & Protein Extraction: An effective component in lysis buffers for isolating membrane-associated proteins while maintaining native conformation.
• Lipid Raft Studies: Useful in biochemical research focused on detergent-resistant membranes (lipid rafts) and their associated proteins.
• Chromatography: Can be used as an additive in chromatography buffers to improve the separation and recovery of hydrophobic proteins.
• Diagnostic Reagent Formulation: Serves as a stabilizing agent in diagnostic kits and assays that utilize membrane-bound enzymes or receptors.
