Product Information

• Name: 6-Carboxyindole
• Synonyms: Indole-6-carboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Carboxyindole is an indole that binds to the IL-17A receptor, which leads to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It has been shown to be involved in autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory conditions. 6-Carboxyindole can be used as a probe for studying the biology of IL-17A, by binding to it and inhibiting its effects. The chemical structure of 6-carboxyindole is also useful for diagnostic purposes, as it can bind to antibodies and antigens for detecting infectious diseases or other biological processes. 6-Carboxyindole can be used in the treatment of heart tissue by binding with monoclonal antibodies that are specific for cardiac proteins such as myosin light chain kinase.
