Product Information

• Name: Pteridin-2-amine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pteridin-2-amine is a calibration standard that is used to measure the covalent binding of metal ions to protein. It has been shown to have kidney toxicity and can cause liver damage. Pteridin-2-amine can be oxidized by O2 or NO3-, forming oxidation products containing nitrogen atoms, which are detected using voltammetry. The product has a high affinity for neopterin, a metabolic product that is released from eosinophils and mast cells in response to inflammatory stimuli. Pteridin-2-amine can inhibit the enzyme aldehyde oxidase and the activity of an enzyme called catalase, which helps protect cells from oxidative stress. This product has also been shown to form chromatographic peaks with oxygen atoms and sodium hydrogen when mixed with water.
