• Beschreibung: Digitonin is produced from the seeds of the Digitalis pupurea and other Digitalis species. It is a steroid glycoside consisting of the aglycon digitogenin linked to five sugar residues. Digitonin reacts hemolytic and is toxic to humans. The reaction of naturally occurring steroids carrying a 3b-hydroxyl group with digitonin results in an insoluble precipitate. Determination of cholesterol and ergosterol. Digitonin permeabilizes the plasma membranes of eukaryotic cells by complexing with membrane cholesterol and other unconjugated & beta;-hydroxysterols. Used for solubilization of membrane proteins and permeabilization of cellular and nuclear membranes.
