Description

Palytoxin is a highly potent, non-proteinaceous marine toxin of significant scientific and pharmacological interest. Its unique mechanism of action, targeting the Na+/K+-ATPase pump, makes it a critical tool for ion channel research and the study of cellular toxicity. This compound is primarily utilized by advanced research institutions and pharmaceutical development laboratories. Our supply of Palytoxin CAS NO 77734-91-9 is characterized by stringent quality control to ensure reliability for sensitive applications.

Application

• Biomedical Research: As a potent cytolytic agent for studying ion transport, cell membrane integrity, and mechanisms of cytotoxicity.
• Pharmacology & Toxicology: Used in the development of bioassays and as a reference standard for detecting and quantifying marine toxins in environmental and food safety testing.
• Neuroscience Research: A valuable tool for investigating the function and inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase pump in neuronal cells and signaling pathways.
• Drug Discovery: Serves as a molecular probe for target validation and in screening programs aimed at finding novel therapeutic agents or antidotes.
• Academic Research: Fundamental studies in marine biology, biochemistry, and the ecology of toxic algal blooms and coral reef organisms.

Quality Control

Our Palytoxin is produced and handled under strict quality protocols suitable for research applications. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity and purity using advanced analytical techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results, including assay purity and related substances, is provided to ensure full traceability and compliance with your research requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and strictly light-sensitive nature, store the product in a cool, dry place at recommended temperatures (typically -20°C or below for long-term stability). The container should be kept in a secondary impermeable enclosure under an inert atmosphere if specified. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
