BAPTA, TETRASODIUM SALT

Description:
BAPTA, tetrasodium salt, is a chelating agent primarily used to bind calcium ions in biochemical and physiological studies. Its full name is bis(2-amino-ethoxy)-tetraacetic acid, and it is characterized by its ability to form stable complexes with divalent cations, particularly calcium. This property makes it valuable in various applications, including cell biology, where it helps to control intracellular calcium levels. The tetrasodium salt form enhances its solubility in aqueous solutions, making it suitable for laboratory use. BAPTA is often utilized in experiments involving calcium signaling, as it can effectively sequester calcium ions, thereby influencing cellular processes. Additionally, it is important to note that BAPTA has a relatively low toxicity profile, which allows for its use in live cell studies. Its molecular structure includes multiple carboxylate groups that facilitate the binding of calcium ions, contributing to its effectiveness as a chelator. Overall, BAPTA, tetrasodium salt, is a crucial tool in the study of calcium-dependent biological mechanisms.
