Description

Iodinated Casein CAS NO 9005-97-4 is a chemically modified protein derivative, where iodine is covalently bound to the tyrosine residues of casein. This product is valued for its controlled release of iodine, making it a critical ingredient in specialized nutritional and biochemical applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the animal feed, nutraceutical, and research sectors seeking a stable, bioavailable iodine source.

Application

• Animal Nutrition: Used as a dietary iodine supplement in feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture to support thyroid function and metabolic health.
• Nutraceuticals: Serves as a key component in specialized human and veterinary supplements designed for thyroid support and iodine deficiency management.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or reagent in enzymatic studies, protein iodination research, and metabolic pathway investigations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a precursor or active ingredient in the formulation of thyroid-related pharmaceutical preparations.
• Microbiological Media: Incorporated into specialized culture media formulations for the growth of iodine-requiring microorganisms.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Utilized in the development of diagnostic kits and assays where protein-bound iodine is a necessary component.
